SUNNI preacher Rahmatullah Qasimi has lashed out at internationally-acclaimed scholar Mahmood Kooria Hudavi for "defaming Islam by portraying Islamic Sharia as patriarchal".

- M P PRASHANTH @Kozhikode

In his Ramadan speech here last Sunday, Qasimi said Kooria had spoken things that were never raised by even anti-Sunni organisations such as the Muslim Education Society (MES) or the Mujahids.

Kooria, an alumnus of Darul Huda Islamic University in Malappuram, is currently working with the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh, UK. An author of several pioneering studies, Kooria was selected for the prestigious Infosys Prize in 2024 "for his truly outstanding and seminal contributions to the study of maritime Islam in a global perspective, with particular focus on Kerala in the pre-modern and early modern eras".
