National Fatwa Council forbids tomboyism
The National Fatwa Council has ruled that tomboyism, where a girl behaves or dresses in a boyish manner, is forbidden in Islam.
Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said the decision was prompted by recent developments as there had been cases of young women inclined to behave like men and indulging in homosexuality.
“Parents must guide their children from indulging in disruptive activities that are against Islamic teachings,” he told reporters at the close of a two-day meeting of council here on Thursday.
The meeting was held to discuss social ills confronting Muslims, including the issue of tomboyism.
