QURANIC FATWA REGARDING RESTRICTION ON WOMEN'S SCARF IN TURKEY, FRANCE AND BELGIUM
In the parliaments of France, Turkey and Belgium, the debate on the law of restriction for wearing scarf for all the women in the country is in progress. This parliamentary law is unlawful for the Muslim women in these countries according to the Holy Quran. Before quoting the related verses from Holy Quran I would like to write the exact percentage of Muslim population in these countries. In Turkey there is ninty eight percent Muslim population, in France there are only four percent Muslims, while in Belgium there are negligible number of Muslim population but about all the citizens of Belgium are either Roman Catholic or Protestant Christians.
The Holy Quran imposes the law of covering their bodies and heads with a wrapping cloth in following verses for pious (Momin) women.
Verse Nos.58 and 59 of Surah Al-Ahzab 33 of 114, Part-22 of 30.
58. And those who hurt believing men and believing women without doing anything, they have taken over their heads a calumny and an open sin.
59. O Prophet! Tell to your wives, and daughters and Muslim women, that they should keep putting a part of their wrapping covers over their faces. This is nearer than this that if they are recognized, they should not be annoyed. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
