The president of All India Tanzeem Ulema-e-Hind, Syed Ahmed Khizar Shah Masoodi Kashmiri, says, “Islam gives equal rights to both men and women but also demarcates their domains which are important as well as inevitable to run a good system”. In support of his statement, Ahmed Khizar argues, “If both of us decide to build a house and both of us just start mixing sand and cement, then will we be able to build a house? Obviously not, because we need a labourer to do this mixing work and a specialist mason who will construct the house. In the same way, Islam has defined separate roles for men and women.”
