What does Sharia law mean for women in Afghanistan under Taliban?

  • 3 years ago
The Taliban have said women will enjoy their rights in Afghanistan under the Sharia law. Sharia, widely known as the ‘Islamic law’, is the Arabic word for ‘the way’ or ‘the law’. Its origins in Islam are from four sources the Quran, the Sunnah and Hadis (words and text records of Prophet Muhammad), Qiyas (reasonable interpretation of the first two) and Ijma (consensus of jurists). The Taliban have their own interpretation of Sharia law. Watch the video to know more.
