India’s influential Islamic seminary, Darul Uloom Deoband has asked Muslims not to post their pictures on social media, according to Times of India.
The seminary located in Saharanpur's Deoband town issued a fatwa on October 18, saying Muslim men and women should not upload their photos on Facebook, WhatsApp or any other social media platform while terming it un-Islamic.
The fatwa was issued in response to a query.
"Social media is being used to destroy age-old traditions. Anyone can speak or showcase anything on mobile phones and there is no check on that. This is wrong, the newspaper quoted a cleric as saying.
Few days ago the seminary had suggested that women should not trim their hair and eyebrows for better looks, the Times reported.
