Oyogist.com has learned that the Hisbah, an agency in charge of enforcement of Shariah doctrine in Kano State, on Wednesday, announced ban on use of mannequins to display clothes by tailors, supermarkets and boutique owners in the state.
This was announced by the Commander of the state Hisbah board, Sheikh Aroun ibn Sina.
According to him:
“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”.
This was just as the agency warned that the agency would embark on raiding of those places to remove them, describing the use of the mannequins for advert purposes as idolatery.
We divided Kano into five areas for monitoring and implementation of the ban across the state,” he added.
