Can it be said 'there <strong>is</strong> no Inkaar in <strong>is</strong>sues of Khilaaf'<br />

with regards to the <strong>is</strong>sue of l<strong>is</strong>tening to music and<br />

unveiling of a woman's face<br />

In h<strong>is</strong> lecture, 'al-Fatwa bayna mutabiqati ash-Shar' wa-Masaairati al-<br />
