Fatwa against women allowing male shopkeepers help wear bangles

It may be mentioned that earlier, Darul Uloom Deoband had issued a fatwa against women allowing male shopkeepers help wear bangles.

According to the report published in TOI, cleric of Deoband termed it as sin.

Scholars in Deoband town supported the stand. Mufti Tariq Qasmi, a cleric supporting the fatwa said that as per Sharia, women cannot talk to strangers thus allowing male shopkeeper touch their hands is wrong.
