once the process has been completed a decision on whether to reopen universities, or not, will be announced.Speaking at an event to announce
the achievements of the ministry over the past year, Nadeem said that girls& education is a &sensitive issue& that cannot be resolved in a
few weeks or months.&Research by scholars is ongoing
If, as a result of scholars& research, it is proved that female education is permissible in this way, it will certainly be allowed
And if the result of the research is that it should remain suspended, it will remain suspended,& he said.Nadeem stated that if anyone has
evidence that girls& education in this way is permissible according to Hanafi jurisprudence, they can share it with the authorities.&If
someone claims that this type of education is allowed in a certain book, there is no need for the media, come to the ministry and share it
I believe that this issue will be resolved,& he said.Officials of the ministry also stated that in the past one year, 131 educational
