27:24Now PlayingIn a shocking revelation, two UK mosques, An-Noor Masjid in Birmingham and Muhammadi Masjid in Bradford, have come under fire for hosting sermons that appear to condone domestic violence and marital rape. The mosques, both registered charities for "the advancement of religion," uploaded YouTube videos in September 2024 containing deeply controversial content. Islamic lecturer Mahamed AbdurRazaq stated that if a wife refuses sex and other methods don't work, a husband is "allowed to hit her" and "shake her," as long as it doesn't "bruise" or "break bones." Similarly, Muhammad Huzaifah argued that women need their husband's permission for voluntary fasts, citing the husband's "rights." The National Secular Society reported these sermons to the Charity Commission, leading to the videos' removal. Megan Manson, the organization's head of campaigns, condemned the sermons, stating, "The patriarchal ideology spouted by these preachers can fuel misogyny, discrimination, and violence against women and girls." This incident has reignited debates about religious freedoms, charity regulations, and women's rights in the UK, prompting calls for a review of the "advancement of religion" as a charitable purpose.
