Digital Desk : In a new decree ordered by the Taliban, shop owners in western Afghanistan have been directed to cut off the heads of mannequins, insisting the human figures violate Islamic law.

“We have ordered the shopkeepers to cut the heads off mannequins as this is against (Islamic) Sharia law,” Aziz Rahman, head of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the city of Herat, said on Wednesday.

On being insisted by some shopkeepers if they can cover the heads by plastic bags or headcovers instead of sawing off, the Taliba responded, "If they just cover the head or hide the entire mannequin, the angel of Allah will not enter their shop or house and bless them."
Till now, the hardline Islamist group of Afghanistan ha issued no national law on the beheading of the mannequins as such.
