The Supreme Sharia Court Council in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip has imposed travel restrictions on unmarried females, drawing sharp criticism from Palestinians and human-rights organizations.
In a circular issued on Sunday, the council ruled that “an unmarried female may be prevented from traveling if she did not obtain permission from her guardian,” who is often her father or in some cases her son.
“Her guardian may prevent her from traveling if there is absolute harm in her travel or if there is a lawsuit requiring a travel ban,” the council ruled.
That's speaks volume.What is the big deal? In Islam women don't travel alone anyway. They need a mahram with them. It is not permissable to travel alone. Similarly, it is not permissable for a woman to travel without her husband's permission.
The Palestinian Authority’s Palestinian Sharia Courts Chief Justice Mahmoud al-Habbash said the ruling violated the teachings of Islam.
“Palestinians are not bound by the circular issued by the Gaza-based council,” he said.
“Restricting public and private freedoms without a legitimate justification is a clear violation of the spirit of sharia and an assault on the rights guaranteed by Islam,” he added.
Depends really on what interpretation of Islam you speak of.What is the big deal? In Islam women don't travel alone anyway. They need a mahram with them. It is not permissable to travel alone. Similarly, it is not permissable for a woman to travel without her husband's permission.
So the article is supposedly quoting someone saying it isn't Islamic. Other articles are quoting others saying it is Islamic. (for some reason those bits didn't get to the Israeli publication....) What makes you believe one over the other? The good news is, in Islam we don't decide things on our own, but we rely on authentic sources for information.That's speaks volume.
Did you read the article? It says -

Tha wasn't hamas, it is Allah who restricted what women and men can do.allowing male guardians to restrict unmarried women’s trave

Basically your complaint is that after Israel has made life nearly impossible, it is "sickening" to you that they continue to practice their religion.

Clearly any effort to impose the stone age Wahhabism of Saudi on everybody else can by now be called a complete failure.
Or so the kingdom of Morocco (just to name one example) seems to think, not to even mention the PA's Chief Islamic Justice.
... the fact that Muslim women cannot travel alone ....
Hamas pulled that regulation out of its arse, claiming falsely (like you) that it's Islamic.Tha wasn't hamas, it is Allah who restricted what women and men can do.

That's my understanding as well.To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing in the Qur'an that prohibits women from travelling on their own. However, verse 4:34 gives men the power to so restrict the women under his care on an individual basis. Islam requires she obey.

Does Allah have a habit of rejecting my 3 foot putts as well?
Should I pray to Allah over my 3' putts?
I hope that's not a misspelling of 'putz'. That would make you an elephant.
10 handicap.

No one is forcing you to say out loud the ugly things you have in mind. If you can't handle a response, keep them to yourself.
Please don't waste my time with such nonsense and don't try and twist my words. Talk to yourself because I'm certainly not giving you a platform to continue to sprout such complete rubbish.
Your comment has nothing to do with my previous comment.Israel has nothing to do with subjugating women under the guise of Allah.
You're one of those... I suppose it would be a waste of time for me to respond to you. Let this be a sufficient answer: Those who prefer the truth, look for it, others turn away from it.Clearly any effort to impose the stone age Wahhabism of Saud
https://muflihun.com/bukhari/52/250 --- Narrated Ibn Abbas: That he heard the Prophet saying, "It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and no lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry in any case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then a man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have enlisted in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj." Allah's Apostle ﷺ said, "Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife." --- حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لاَ يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ، وَلاَ تُسَافِرَنَّ امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا مَحْرَمٌ ". فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اكْتُتِبْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَخَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتِي حَاجَّةً. قَالَ " اذْهَبْ فَحُجَّ مَعَ امْرَأَتِكَ ". Classification: Sahih (Authentic) Sahih al-Bukhari, 3006
It's from authentic Islamic sources. It is not permissable for Muslims to deny the authentic hadiths. Some people fear Islam so (or they follow the media that does) they have to pretend it is limited to a couple of countries and that other countries but the two or three have some "other kind of Islam".Hamas pulled that regulation out of its arse, claiming falsely (like you) that it's Islamic.
Sunni is the largest sect of Islam and is a religion that is followed by as many as 90% of the 1.5 billion Muslims around the world. People that follow this branch of Islam are known as Sunnites or Sunnis.
