The first female leader of the Muslim Council of Britain has said that questioning the UK’s lack of female imams is not within parameters of her role.
Last week, Zara Mohammed, 29, was elected the first ever female Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).
Following her unprecedented election, she described her vision as: “to continue to build a truly inclusive, diverse and representative body” for the organisation, acting as Britain s largest democratic Muslim umbrella body, which represents more than 500 organisations.
