41:20Now PlayingA spokesperson for the Taliban's Ministry of Vice and Virtue, Molvi Mohammad Sadiq Akif, recently claimed that Afghan women would lose their value if men could see their faces uncovered in public, sparking controversy and debate. Akif argued that many religious scholars agree with the necessity of women covering their faces outside their homes to avoid fitna, or falling into sin in Islam. "Allah gives respect to females in hijab, and there is value in this,” Akif stated. However, this assertion was challenged by Tim Winter, Shaykh Zayed Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge, who argued that there is no scriptural mandate for face coverings for women in Islam. Winter also criticized the Taliban's level of religious knowledge, noting that Muslim religious scholars who visited Afghanistan during both periods of Taliban rule were underwhelmed by their understanding. Despite this, Akif maintained that the Afghan people supported the Ministry of Vice and Virtue's measures and the implementation of Sharia law, insisting that the Taliban had added nothing to the Islamic rulings issued 1,400 years ago. Additionally, Akif did not provide clear answers on the lifting of bans on women in public life but claimed that under the current regime, men could no longer stare at or harass women as they did under the previous government.
