Professor Ali continued reading from the apology, “In terms of wisdom as stipulated by the Sharia and declared that unnecessary mingling of women with men not allowed.”
This occurs weeks after the teacher, as reported by The Express Tribune, addressed women’s rights in Islam in reaction to demonstrations against women who go out in public without following the conventional Islamic dress code.
Following the lecture, Professor Ali charged by Pakistani clergy for propagating immorality and disparaging Islam both in his speech and in his classes at the university.
