One hundred and twenty-five Islamic boarding schools or pesantren from Java and Madura island issued a fatwa banning ->-bleeped-<-s from cutting and/or styling Muslim women's hair unless they are muhrim (related by blood or marriage).

The fatwa was issued during a meeting at Al Falah Islamic boarding school in Kediri, East Java last week. According to them, ->-bleeped-<-s are still male, therefore it is haram or forbidden for them to see and touch a woman who is not their spouse nor a blood relative.
