Woman leadership
The leaders and the activists of our Islamic parties time and again say that according to Islamic Shariah woman leadership in a Muslim country is not permitted (najaez). But at the same time two MPs of the Jamaat-e-Islami have become ministers of the government which is headed by a woman prime minister. Another MP of the Islami Oikkya Jote is saying that he will resign from the JS if he is not made a minister.
Now the question is, if woman leadership is not permitted, then is it lawful to become a minister under a woman prime minister?
