Darul Uloom in UP Deoband Bans Entry Of Women ‘They Come To Make Reels’

Influential Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband in western Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district has banned the entry of women and girls on the ground that “reels” were being shot on its campus and circulated on social media, triggering criticism of the decision for being “anti-women” and



unfair.

Maulana Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani, the seminary’s Mohatmim, or vice chancellor, said the decision was taken on Thursday after multiple complaints were received from people across the country about “reels’ or short video clips, shot on the campus and shared on social media.
