IEA commits to implementing Sharia law
Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, acting Minister of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, said Thursday that he will not give into any international pressure on the hijab issue and will implement this Islamic rule.
Hanafi said that along with the members of the vice and virtue ministry, all religious scholars, imams at mosques and elders in communities should implement Islamic rules in society.
Hanafi said in the last 20 years, the mindset of young Afghans had changed considerably.
Currently, there are 8,000 people employed by the ministry who are mostly employed to ensure individual and social reforms are carried out.
A number of religious scholars, however, said that facilities should be provided for those who are busy at this ministry.
In relation to women’s rights, he stated that once again women’s rights will be ensured according to Sharia law.
