Islamic seminary issues fatwa on designer, slim fit burqas
Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa stating that designer and slim fit burqas were haram and prohibited in Islam. The fatwa was in response to a query on whether wearing designer burqas, which are sometimes body-hugging and may draw male gazes, were permitted in Islam. Recently, the seminary had issued a fatwa against celebration of New Year.
