Kano Hisbah Bans Use Of Mannequins By Boutique Owners
- Hisbah warned that it would begin raiding shops to remove them, describing the use of the mannequins for advert purposes as idolatry.
Hisbah, an agency saddled with the responsibility of enforcement of Shariah doctrine, has banned the use of mannequins to display clothes by tailors, supermarkets and boutique owners in Kano State.
Hisbah warned that it would begin raiding shops to remove them, describing the use of the mannequins for advert purposes as idolatry.
Sheikh Aroun ibn Sina, Commander of the state Hisbah Board who announced the ban in the state, added that the use of mannequins by tailors, boutique owners and others contravened the provision of Islamic injunctions.
“Hisbah prohibits the use of mannequins at shops, commercial and private residences and other public places. This violates Islamic provisions, it is also responsible for immoral thoughts among some members of the public, all these are against Islam,” he said.
