Islamic human rights organisation, Muslim Rights Concern, on Wednesday, backed the Kano State Hisbah Board’s decision to grill the parents of the 44th Miss Nigeria, Shatu Garko, over their daughter’s ‘illegal’ participation in the beauty pageant.

MURIC Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, in a chat with The PUNCH, said no decent Muslim lady would participate in any beauty pageant like the Miss Nigeria contest, adding that the beauty pageant is not different from the television reality show, Big Brother Naija.

The group said Muslims do not participate in any beauty pageant, according to Quran Chapter 24, Verse 31; and Quran Chapter 33, Verse 59.

“These two verses emphatically insist that women should cover themselves and dress up decently and neither should display their body for the public. Being present in a beauty pageant even if she was in a hijab, she had done the catwalked with thousands of men eating her up with their eyes. It is not acceptable,” Akintola stressed.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the Commander General of the Kano Hisbah Board, Harun Ibn-Sina, said that the Sharia Police would invite the parents of 18-year-old Garko for allowing her to participate in the Miss Nigeria pageant on December 17, 2021 at the Landmark Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

Garko, who wore a hijab during the pageant, had won the beauty pageant and took home the prize of N10m, one-year residency in a luxury apartment, brand new car, and many brand ambassadorship opportunities.

However, the Hisbah boss said Garko’s participation is illegal and unknown to Islam, adding that the parents of the teenagers would be invited so that other ladies won’t model after Garko.

Speaking with our correspondent also on Wednesday, Akintola said Muslims are not impressed with Garko’s action.

The Professor of Islamic Eschatology at the Lagos State University said, “We are not quite impressed by the development because the environment itself is un-Islamic – women parading their bodies and all of that. Hers may be different but she is not supposed to mix with those kinds of people. It is like going for BBNaija and using Hijab or dressing like a Muslim but you participated in BBNaija where people make love before the camera and millions of Nigerians are watching.

“In a beauty pageant, women also parade their bodies in stages, they come in bikini and all of that. It is not an exercise a Muslim lady should participate in, people who are decent, who have shame, who have honour, who would not display their nudity, who would not expose their bums for millions of naira should not participate in such pageants.”

On the proposed invitation of Garko’s parents by the Kano Sharia police, Akintola said, “It is very good. Why do you think Nigeria is in trouble and our youths uncontrollable? It is because that parental guidance and values are missing at home. How did the parents allow her to go contest? Though she may be 18-year-old, once you are still under your parents, you are under your parents in Islam.”

The various Hisbah Boards in the north enforcing the Sharia law have been accused of many highhandedness in the past including the destruction of millions of bottles of different beer worth billions of naira, thus, rendering hundreds of Southern traders hopeless and jobless in the north. They claimed consumption of alcohol and all other intoxicants was forbidden in Islam.

Hisbah has also been accused of blatantly violating the basic rights of citizens in its mission to enforce criminal aspects of Sharia law on residents of the North-West state.

Terrorist

I wonder how did he know what is happening in big brother Nigeria is he is no watching it

You can never hear this useless bigotry organization talk about new innovations or things that affects the common man but once it comes to sowing seed of discord using religion.

Muslim law society only for the poor, the rich can do anything and get away with it.

Well, there's nothing this gele wearing man will not do or say to gain attention.

All this drama because she participated in a pageant. Though am not a fan of beauty shows but I see no reason why this folks are breaking their heads. They will only succeed in making her surrender her crown but can't turn back the hand of the clock

These Yaribaa Muslims are just utterly useless.

Hizbah denies inviting parents of Miss Nigeria for questioning https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/12/hizbah-denies-inviting-parents-of-miss-nigeria-for-questioning/

This MURIC man madness keep increasing daily.

The one man organization no gree grow because his ideology cannot sell in the West. He should change his state of origin & relocate to Kano ASAP to join Hisbah in their nonsense.

With all the killings in Kaduna, Katsina and Niger; MURIC can not mobilise its members to dislodge bandits and boko haram, only to defend useless things!

Am not a fan of beauty pageant shows.. But this Mumuric and hisbah should please shut it, if they can't invite the rich parents of Muslim couples we see wearing same, then they are bunch of coward hypocrites, heck beauty pageants shows are held in alot of middle eastern countries so whats the fuss all about?

This is my stand point! I don't support beauty pageant and BBNaija anyway, however peace is always achievable when JUSTICE is upheld! Let Hisbah extend invitation to Emirs of Bichi and kano as well as Governor Ganduje whose daughters used sultry dresses during weddings..
If Usman Dan Fodio is alive today, these Emirs would be his first target of the Jihad!

Those smelly skunks in hisbah and muric can go f**k themselves.

This mong didn't worry about a Muslim lady not covering when it came to governors' and emirs' daughters exposing their bodies online. These foools seem not to know the existence of the word "hypocrisy".

What's the essence of showing off your body in the name of money and fame. In an event where the organizers sleep with almost all the girls for gratification.

A world where infidels see abnormal as normal.


Al-turbani speaks!
