What is your opinion on the controversial fatwas of Sheikh Dr. Hassan Al-Turabi regarding the permissibility of drinking alcohol, the non-legitimacy of the hijab except for covering the chest, and the permissibility of women leading men in prayer? And what is your opinion also on the statements of Sheikh Gamal Al-Banna that concur with Al-Turabi's fatwas?

Al-Alusi said: "It is part of the religion to uncover every liar, and every innovator who brings forth wonders, for were it not for faithful men, the monasteries of Allah's religion would have been demolished from every side."

First Issue: His justification of alcohol consumption:

This statement contradicts the consensus of the Ummah (Muslim community) on the prohibition of alcohol, and whoever deems it permissible commits an act of disbelief. The punishment for consuming alcohol is incurred simply by drinking it, without requiring any aggression.

Second Issue: His claim that hijab (definition) (veil) is specific to the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and that it only covers the chest:

Hijab is a general obligation for all Muslim women, and the verse in Surah (definition) An-Noor indicates covering both the head and the chest.

Third Issue: A woman leading men in prayer and standing with them in the same row without touching:

It is not permissible for a woman to lead men in prayer, nor is it permissible for her to stand next to a man, as the texts indicate the delaying of women's rows in the mosque.

Fourth Issue: A woman's testimony being equal to a man's in all matters:

This statement contradicts the Quran and Sunnah (definition), as Islamic law has differentiated between men and women in some matters of testimony.

Fifth Issue: A woman leaving her home:

The basic principle is for a woman to remain in her home, and she should not leave except out of necessity or a religiously legitimate need. As for the claim that Islam legislated hijab to protect the head from the sun and dust, it is an unfounded statement.
