Islamabad:
On Wednesday, the Islamic Ideology Council (CII) reaffirmed its previous position that Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s transgender bill (KP) contains the same non-Islamic elements as the transgender law of 2018, which had been declared inconsistent with the Islamic principles by the Council and the Federal Court.
The matter was taken during a meeting in which the members of the ICI deliberated in a total of 19 articles on the agenda. The session was chaired by the president of CII, Dr. Muhammad Raghib Hussain Naemi.
In addition, the Council expressed concern about the inclusion of the Guru-Chala concept bill (mentor-disciple), considering it synlamic.
The Council ruled that granting the first wife the right to cancel their marriage if your husband married again without his permission is not Islamic. Any judicial ruling that allows such cancellation contradicts Islamic teachings.
It was decided that premarital tests for talaasemia or other contagious diseases can be included in Nikahnama (marriage contract) as an optional disposition. However, the decision to marry will remain only at the discretion of both parties under Islamic law.
The Council ruled that organ transplantation, particularly the kidney and liver, is allowed while the donor’s life is not in danger.
The Council ruled that newly hired employees may be obliged to participate in the tax pension system, but existing employees cannot be forced to join it. In addition, he emphasized that pension funds must be completely free of interest -based financial systems.
The Council emphasized that Zakat’s funds should be distributed to deserving individuals without unnecessary delays. However, if administrative procedures cause delays, these funds can be placed in Islamic bank accounts that generate profits. In case of financial losses, the government will be responsible for compensating them.
At the meeting, four experts from the Sindh Institute of Child and Neonatology were invited to present information on the establishment of a human milk bank. They provided detailed responses to 33 consultations raised by the members of the Board. Additional questions of the members were also addressed. The Council decided to carry out an in -depth study on the matter and will present its final decision at the next meeting.
It was decided that Islamic terms such as Salah (prayer), Ayah (verse) and Masjid (mosque) should be maintained in their original Arab form instead of being translated into English.
The Council emphasized that academics and intellectuals should raise awareness at their respective levels regarding the issue of electricity theft.
