Question
A mufti from Pietermaritzburg runs his school and madressa. He has 2 Hindu women running the whole show, and gives preference to these Hindu women over all the Muslim teachers in the school and madressa. In the eyes of the mufti this Hindu secretary is regarded as superior and is given more power than the experienced old Principal of the school. This Hindu secretary has pictures and small Hindu idols in her office in the Muslim school/Madressa in the precincts of the Centre Masjid. It is shocking that with so many Muslims available to do the job that this mufti employs these two Hindu women and gives them preference over all the Muslim staff. Please comment. Is this Islamically proper?
Answer
If the information you have provided is correct, then perhaps this 'mufti' is not even a Muslim. It is not conceivable for an Aalim of the Deen to descend to the depth of villainy narrated by you. If this scenario is a reality, have the other Ulama of the city not objected? The position at this madrasah / school is Islamically intolerable.
The Muslim teachers at this school where this haraam scenario operates are also blameworthy. They should resign enmasse. This vile 'mufti' should be dismissed if he is employed by the Jamaat. The set-up is evil and haraam. The fellow must be in some illicit relationship with the mushrik females.
