[Reader-list] Body scanning violation of Sharia

[Bipin]

We never heard Deoband or other Islamic organization issuing fatwa against terrorists or terrorists group, why? 

Why this full body scanning requires nowadays? Nobody wants to do it willingly, but terrorist activity forced to do the same. So, instead of giving fatwa against this, Deoband must control the terrorists and do something to stop the terrorism.

Thanks
Bipin

Although almost everyone in the west is debating the pros and cons of
the full-body scanning (see the link at the bottom), but as soon as
the Deoband issues a fatwa against this, everyone in India will
condemn the fatwa and support the body-scanning as the best security
measure.

Body scanning violation of Sharia: Darul Uloom
Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui, TNN, 16 February 2010, 05:42am IST

LUCKNOW: Supporting the fatwa issued by the Fiqh Council of North
America (FCNA) against use of full-body scanner for security checks
for access to high security areas, country’s well-known Islamic
seminary Darul Uloom, Deoband, too expressed serious reservations
about such a practice as per the Sharia.

Vice-chancellor of the seminary, Maulana Abdul Khalik Madrasi on
Monday approved of the FCNA ruling on grounds that such screening of
human bodies was in gross violation of the Islamic law both for men as
well as women.

Be it the full body screening (FBS) or any other technology on the
same lines, such things are totally against the Sharia. “It is like
exposing yourself in nude in front of others,” Maulana Abdul Khalik
told reporters in Muzaffarnagar. He was replying to a question on
whether the FCNA fatwa was in line with the Sharia or not. “Haya
(modesty) is an extremely important element of human life in Islam.
Properly covering the human body — that of both, men and women — can
help to check a number of untoward situations like eve-teasing,”
Maulana Khalik said. “Such things can be allowed only and only if it
comes up to be a matter of life and death,” he added.
