Sir: Both Qazi Hussain Ahmad and Syed Munawar Hassan of the JI wear caps made of the expensive qaraqul (Persian lamb) as part of their normal headgear. Qaraqul fur is said to be obtained by a cruel process of skinning an aborted unborn lamb of a special breed of sheep in Afghanistan, which is butchered to remove the unborn lamb fetus from its womb to skin it. Some ulema consider it a cruel and atrocious act to skin the unborn lamb and as such declare wearing of the qaraqul cap haraam, especially for offering one’s prayers with it. Because of the same cruel process, many European and western nations have banned sale/purchase of qaraqul fur in their countries. I wonder what the JI maulanas have to say on this account.
