Mufti Asad Kasmi, a Deobandi cleric, issued a Taliban-style decree explaining how Muslim women should get their clothes stitched, Live Hindustan reported.
He claimed that where men take measurements, it is haram (forbidden) for Muslim women to get their clothes stitched. He suggested that instead, women should send their already stitched clothes to a male tailor for measurements, as it is permissible.
Earlier, in his statement, Mufti Asad Kasmi had advised Muslim women not to go to beauty parlours where men work. He declared it illegal and haram for Muslim women and asked them to go to beauty parlours where girls work.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
