Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyeb has stressed that the decision made by Taliban contradicts with the Islamic Sharia.

In a statement, Tayeb said the ban imposed by the Taliban on women’s university studies contradicts with the Islamic Sharia’s call for men and women to seek education “from cradle to grave”.

Tayeb shed light on more than two thousand quotes by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in this regard and the many pioneering Muslim women in the fields of science, education, and politics.

“This shocking decision to the consciences of Muslims and non-Muslims should not have been issued by any Muslim,” the grand imam said.

Tayeb called on those in power in Afghanistan to review the decision, remining them of the Day of Resurrection, when money, prestige, and politics would not help.

Earlier this week, the Taliban announced banning women from university in Afghanistan, triggering global condemnation and disappointment.

The Taliban’s Minister of Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem said the ban came as women have not abided by the dress code and as some school subjects were not suitable for them.
