‘Use Headless Mannequins To Advertise Clothes, Cover Their Breast, Bottom Shapes” – Hisbah
The Islamic police force in Kano, known as Hisbah has ordered shops to only use headless mannequins to advertise clothing.
This, it said, is because Islamic doctrines are against idolatry.
“Islam frowns on idolatry,” Haruna Ibn-Sina, the commander of the Sharia police said.
BBC also quoted him as saying, “With the head on, it looks like a human being.”
Ibn-Sina also wants the headless mannequins covered at all times because to show “the shape of the breast, the shape of the bottom, is contrary to the teachings of Sharia [Islamic law]”.
