Islamabad (HRNW) The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) on Tuesday ruled that a draft bill on transgender rights contained several clauses which were incompatible with Sharia and had the potential to create social conflicts in society.
The country’s top religious advisory body has suggested that a committee should be constituted comprising CII Chairman Qibla Ayaz together with other religious scholars to review the clauses in detail so that law should be implemented accordingly.
Critics, including religious leaders, claim that the law is against the principles laid out in Shariah.
