Dubai to appoint female muftis
DUBAI: The Gulf emirate of Dubai plans to appoint female muftis by the end of next year in an unprecedented step that could trigger opposition from Muslim conservatives, The National newspaper reported on Tuesday. Six Emirati women are being selected for a training programme that starts early next year, the newspaper quoted the emirate’s grand mufti Ahmed Al-Haddad as saying. Haddad issued an edict in February authorising women to become muftis and in May he called on qualified candidates to apply for a training programme that includes instruction in sharia and legal thought. “A woman who is learned and trained in issuing fatwas is not limited to her role of issuing fatwas that relate to women only, but rather she is qualified to issue [edicts] on matters of worship, jurisprudence, morality and behaviour,” the paper quoted him as saying. afp
