The world does not revolve around Deobandees or the Hanafi Madhab. If a Muslim woman has decided to wear a Hijab (instead of Niqab), a long dress (instead of Jilbaab) and became regularly coming to the Masjid and organises Halaqa…She is not a “slut”
She has not become Murtad.
A few years ago a Sister who worked at a local institute told me that she was a Darul-uloom graduate. She was wearing a long dress, Hijab and working and there was nothing in her behaviour or interaction which was non-decent.
She got married soon thereafter and her and her family asked my Mushwara for naming her son.
Did she dress and act like a typical “Alimah”, No!
I know another Sister who is an “Alimah” but helps out a Charity organisation. Her and her husband (non-Alim) combine Salah and do a million things non-Hanafi. She regularly deals with men about her charity.
Did she dress and act like a typical “Alimah”, No!
Like it or not, we live in a global world. These woman are reading Islamic material, listening to Bayans etc so they are no longer monolithic, just like man are not.
If you wish to do something, counter the argument intellectually and intelligently instead of naming everyone a “slut” because they have decided o get a haircut which is perfectly permissible in Hanafi Madhab and Islam.
If you cannot wrap your head around the issue, you cannot come out of your biased bigoted world.
I would go one step further and say that just because a woman is working in an office, not wearing a Hijab (it’s a major sin) SHE IS NOT A SLUT! I am not justifying her non-wearing of Hijab or working but SHE IS NOT A SLUT! Interacting with men at school, college, university, work etc is not praiseworthy behavior but SHE IS NOT A SLUT!
Women coming to Eid Salah or Taraweeh are coming to pray and not to trap men…Just because a woman interacts and communicats with you doesn’t mean she wants to entrap you, It COULD lead to Fitnah (absolutely)…
Did you know that a vast majoity of younger generation of Indian Muslims cannot read Urdu? That is my first problem with Indian Ulama and Institutions. If I have figured this out sitting outside India, why can't they get it while being inside of India.
Here are 5 people from Mumbai, take a look at the description of youtube. There is a reason why they are typing like this:

If someone writes in Urdu, thats fine but publishing it in just Urdu is pure criminal. You have then taken it posted it for Western Muslims which 99% don't undertand Urdu so tell me how will it be effective?
Before a person can follow you, they need to UNDERSTAND you. If the vast majority of your target population does not understand "Urdu" it is STUPID to try to communicate in Urdu and encourage them to learn Urdu. Majority of writers in the West (Ulama included) make mistakes in Urdu writing yet insist on dropping Urdu words in their communication, why?
If you don't know the language of the people, get someone to translate for you.
THEN learn to communicate in a manner which is understood by the people, just knowing the language is not sufficient.
I sat down with responsible brothers in a Mosque discussing Salafism. In that Masjid to this day the Imam gives talks in Urdu, Ta'leem is in Urdu so I asked them, "When someone comes to Islam, HOW do you expect him to learn Deen"?
An English brother told me that the most insulting thing is for people to tell him to "Pay attention and his heart will understand it"...He said to them, "Let me pick English Tafseer of the Qur'aan and read it you for 2 hours, Pay attention and your heart will understand it..."
Its ridiculous and its a BASIC error. Do people think that "Urdu" is the language of Jannah and carries some kind of special virtue in Islam?
I am saying not just the language but the manner of communication in that language has to be pitched at the right level but Deobandees can do well to communicate in the right language to begin with.
You don't live in India, I don't live in India. You are intelligent but I am an idiot...If I have figured this why can't the Ulama and Institutions figure this basic rule?
5 guys from Mumbai with their personal money in countering Salafi Dawah have figured it out but Ulama and Institutions cannot? Why do they insist on issuing their press releases in Urdu (ONLY)? Muslims cannot read it and the Media cannot read it (properly) so what is the point?
I just wanted to point out that the situation in Bangladesh with Salafi’ism and apostasy is far worse than India. Deobandees of Bangladesh are so far behind and non-existent that it’s unbelievable.
The situation of Deobandees in Bangladesh is truly dire. If you think apostasy in India is a problem it is an epidemic in Bangladesh.
Now, we can get back to India...
As I said your udnerstanding of Islam is suspect!

You cannot sanction someone's practise based on your perceived understanding of your “Madhab”. She may well not be Hanafi and you will be STUPID to start chastising a woman based on your understanding. Read the rules of “Nahi Anil-Munkar” before you engage in it, I suggest reading the works of Shah Waliullah (RA).
Stay in your lane, son! The world does not revolve aorund you perception of Islam.
You cannot assume for her to be on error
Simple example:
Another simple example:
This is not apostasy, this is you veiwing the world through your narrow lens. It DOES NOT start with any of this. Apostasy is an Aqeedah issue and you are viewing it through the lens of Fiqh.
May be you want to say that it begins with being relaxed in following (established) Sunnah. I am commenting on how to address it. There is a reason why India and Indian Muslims are in a mess!
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Please wait...
