Fatwa for tennis star who wears short skirts
By Peter Foster in New Delhi
(Filed: 10/09/2005)

India's leading female tennis player has been subjected to a fatwa by a Muslim cleric for wearing short skirts and revealing tops on the international tennis circuit.

Sania Mirza
Sania Mirza comes from a devout Muslim family

Sania Mirza, 18, who became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the US Open last week, is hugely popular in India.

The fatwa - in effect, a demand that she cover up - was issued by a senior cleric of the Sunni Ulema Board, a little-known group. Similar fatwas have been issued against Mirza, who comes from a devout Muslim family, but none has ever gained popular support among India's 130 million Muslims.

"The dress she wears on the tennis courts…leaves nothing to the imagination," Haseeb-ul-hasan Siddiqui told The Hindustan Times. "She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence."

He said she should follow the example of Iranian women who wore long tunics and headscarves to play in the Asian Badminton Championships.

Envelope (completely cover) oneself in Clothing
and Keep It Clean...

Concerning purity of clothing, we have the following: Says Allah, "And purify your raiment" (al-Muddathir 4). Jabir ibn Sumrah reported that he heard a man ask the Prophet, "May I pray in the same clothes that I had on during intercourse with my wife?" He said, "Yes, but if you see some stains on it, you must wash it."

This hadith is related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah. Its narrators are trustworthy. Reported Mu'awiyyah, "I asked Umm Habibah, 'Did the Prophet pray in the same clothes that he wore when he had intercourse?' She said, 'Yes, if there were no stains on it."'(Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah.)

Abu Sa'eed reported that the Prophet removed his shoes and the people behind him did likewise. When he finished the prayer, he asked, "Why did you remove your shoes?" They said, "We saw you remove yours." He said, "Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was some filth on them. Therefore, when one of you comes to the mosque, he should turn his shoes over and examine them. If one finds any dirt on them, he should rub them against the ground and pray with them on." The hadith is related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, al-Hakim, Ibn Hibban and Ibn Khuzaimah. The latter grades it as sahih.

This hadith shows that if one enters the mosque (with his shoes on) and is unaware of some impurity or has forgotten it, and he suddenly remembers it during the prayer, he must try to remove it and proceed with the prayer. He does not have to repeat it later on.

Traditional Iraqi Style Closed Abaya with Arms Perfect in any weather. Our traditional Iraqi style closed abaya is made from the same high quality, breathable, poly blend georgette fabric worn by women in Iraq and surrounding Gulf states. This classic closed style abaya features an attached headband that ties behind the head and secures the abaya at the forehead to keep it in place. The length of garment is crafted from a single piece of quality georgette fabric. A well made closed abaya--slipping is minimal due to the quality fabric and design. Please note: this is a traditional closed abaya and therefore has no closures such as buttons or velcro, but rather is held in place by tying in place around the head. This abaya is good for those looking for serious coverage, and works well with a niqab (not included.) Since this is intended as an overgarment, clothing and a hijab must be worn underneath (not included.) If you have never worn a traditional abaya and would like assistance making your choice please call customer service. Imported from Jordan. One Size fits all. (ROTFLMBO!)

I think Amritraj's best result in the Grand Slams was an entry into the fourth round. He was more successful on the Davis Cup circuit.

So Allah says...kill all the pretty ones who make your eyes wander and your thoughts run to lust...(including the goats who also do this I guess)...

I guess I prefer Job..who instead of seeing his sin the fault
of others...said "let me make a covenant with my eyes not to gaze upon a maid"


Allah the god of death...

or

Jehovah the God of life...

imo

The fatwa was issued because she comes from a Muslim family, while most Bollywood actresses come from Hindu families.

Why do they assume she's a muslim and not a Hindu? They just make up excuses for their sanctioning of violence. He should issue a fatwa on Madonna, yeah, that's the ticket.....
