Question
Where I live there is a girls madrasah. The muallimah has given her students a play to do and in that play they have to act as boys. One has to imitate being a moulana. The others will be laymen. The girl who poses as a moulana has to wear a male's kurtah and a turban. Are such plays permissible?
Answer
This muallimah is a shaitaanah (a female devil). She is also a mal-oonah (one on whom is Allah's la'nat – curse). Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that the la'nat of Allah settles on a male who imitates a female and vice versa. The shaitaanah made a mockery of the Deen. It is not permissible to have such a stupid woman to teach in a madrasah.
The play is haraam. The organizers and participants are mal-oon. Allah's la'nat descends on these shayaateen in human form. They are making a mockery of the Deen. They are worse than the kuffaar who draw offensive cartoons of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)
