"Do you have no shame? Do you not 恐れる God? You let her watch these 肉親，親類d of things," he said in his sermon Friday.
Kasmi's 法令 comes after the Sunni イスラム教徒 kingdom of Saudi Arabia 許すd women to watch matches in サッカー stadiums earlier this month.

Darul Uloom, in Uttar Pradesh 明言する／公表する, is a more than 150-year-old seminary that teaches Sunni Hanafi jurisprudence. The seminary's rigid 解釈／通訳 of Islam is the 観念的な 創立／基礎 for many hard-line 宗教的な groups, 含むing the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.

On Tuesday a イスラム教徒 women's 権利s 行動主義者 in the northern city of Lucknow decried the 法令.
"It 暗示するs that イスラム教徒 women should not watch any 運動競技の event, tennis matches or swimming 選手権s. How it can be immoral for a woman to watch men playing sport?" Sahira Nasih said.
The seminary recently 問題／発行するd a fatwa, or 宗教的な 法令, asking イスラム教徒 women not to visit beauty salons or wear tight 着せる／賦与するing.
