Durban school slammed for anti-hijab policy during Ramadaan | The Post

Durban - AN ISLAMIC organisation and school authorities have rebuked a primary school in Sydenham for not allowing children, fasting over the holy month of Ramadaan, to wear hijabs or topees . The Caring Sisters Network, part of the South African Muslim Network, said despite hosting various upliftment projects at Rippon Road Primary, they were disappointed with the school’s decision.

“The projects were not only for Muslim children but for the benefit of all. We are extremely disappointed at the decision to prevent Muslim children from practising their religion in its entirety.” Moulana Abdullah Khan, from the Jamiatul Ulama KZN , said by yesterday they had not fielded complaints by parents.

“She has been at the school for over two years and allowed my kids to use the traditional wear, but this time they are not allowed to. Why is she getting herself involved in our religion?” “The hijab represents that the child is fasting for an auspicious prayer and lets others know the child cannot partake in sports or strenuous activities because they have to conserve energy.”
