Hazrat Hakim Akhtar Saheb & Women on Radio Stations

A sincere, concerned brother wrote the following letter of naseehat to a Aalim of High Esteem who happens to be a khalifah of Hadhrat Maulana Hakim Akhtar Sahib:


“I write this letter with genuine concern and not as a personal attack on you. By you, a senior khalifah of Hazrat Hakim Akhtar (DB), speaking on radio Islam, it conveys a misconception or a wrong impression that hazrat maulana Hakim Akhtar was also in favour of the radio station, whereas hazrat has personally, right at the beginning given his mashwera (advice) not to go ahead with putting women on air.


One brother from Johannesburg told me that he heard hazrat telling Maulana Hayder to rather close down the radio station and lose all the money that they had invested rather than to put women on air.
The talk shows in general in most of the programmes and competitions encourage women to call in and project their sweet tones and alluring voices, not to mention the female broadcasters conducting the programmes with their sweet voices. This is in direct conflict with our hazrat Daamat Barakaatuhu’s teachings. Surely, Hazrat! You must be aware that all sorts of women have been phoning in since the inception of MW 1548.


Just recently there was a great clamour and uproar in the community about an AIDS programme where a young Muslim woman openly discussed how to put on a condom with a non-muslim man. All this was done under the guise of deen, whereas the Shariah does not even permit a young woman to reply to the Salaam of a Ghair Mahram man. Neither does the Shariah permit women to do virtuous deeds like giving the Athaan and correcting the Imaam in Salaat even if he may be her husband.


Hazrat, an Aalim of your calibre and standing in the community participating in radio programmes, only enhances the credibility of the Haraam which takes place, in the eyes of the poor Muslim masses. Your sanctioning the minute amount of good on the station is misconstrued by the Muslim public as being sanction for everything that goes on air.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us hidaayat and Maut with Imaan, Aameen. Jazaakallah for all the other good work you do in the community.” Was Salaam


(We trust that all the khulafaa(Damat Barakaatuhum) of Hazrat Hakeem Akhtar Sahib, & all the Ulama will reflect on the sincere naseehat which this brother mureed offered to them.
Both the khalifah and the brother, in the letter, are mureeds of hadhrat Maulana Hakim Akhtar Sahib .)
