Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami chief Dr. Shafiqur Rahman told Al Jazeera in an interview that if his party comes to power, the decision to implement Islamic law will rest with the parliament, not with him personally. He stated that if such a move is deemed essential for the country's development, the parliament will make that determination. Rahman emphasized that Jamaat is participating in elections under the existing national laws and will act in accordance with the people's will, not against it.
Addressing a question about whether a woman could ever serve as the party’s chief, Rahman said it would not be possible. He explained that men and women have distinct roles as created by God, and these differences cannot be altered. He argued that a mother who gives birth could not simultaneously fulfill the responsibilities of the party’s top leadership, asserting that only God knows best.
The interview highlights Jamaat’s stance on governance, gender roles, and its approach to aligning political decisions with public sentiment and religious principles.
