Question

Answer

1. In South Africa, generally an Aalim/a course is approximately six years. The course includes learning the Arabic language, Fiqh, Tafseer and Hadith. Every subject is dealt with in detail and much depth.

2. It is permissible for a female to make braids of her hair and also to make a bun. However, it is prohibited for a femalr to uncover her hair in the presence of Ghayr Mahram males.
