International aid groups are suspending their relief programs in Afghanistan after the Taliban government announced on Saturday that humanitarian organizations are barred from employing women.
This comes after the Taliban barred Afghan girls from attending secondary school earlier this year.
And the reason Taliban are giving, that is about hijab or not observing hijab, which is totally wrong justification. None of Afghan women, even before the Taliban such a decree, was not without hijab. Everybody was wearing their hijab. But the special black dress code the Taliban is taking, most of the girls are doing that. And the special dress code which Taliban is dictating on women of Afghanistan, it has no space in Islamic teaching. There is no space in Islamic history about that.
And people of Afghanistan, Alhamdulillah, we are Muslims. We understand what are the limitation in Sharia. And most of us, we are observing. And this person who is very ignorant, and Taliban leadership must remove these people from the system as soon as possible. They are breaking the bridge between nation and the acting current government, who has not recognition on the international level, and now they are not forcing people to believe them or to be part of them.
