Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday raised several important questions on funding religious education. The court questioned whether a secular state can fund madrasas. At the same time, he asked whether madrasas can teach religious education messages and worship under Section 28 of the Constitution.

The High Court asked the state government whether madrasas can teach religious education and worship under the Constitution. At the same time, he questioned whether madrasas are protecting the faith of all religions under the fundamental rights conferred from Articles 25 to 30. The court also asked if women get entry into madrasas. If not, is it not discriminatory?

The High Court asked the state government these questions:

1. Can madrasas impart religious education under Article 28?
2. Is there a ban on the entry of women into madrasas?
3. Are madrasas protecting the beliefs of all religions under fundamental rights?
4. Are there playgrounds under Articles 21 and 21A?
5. Is the government funding religious educational institutions of other religious minorities?

These questions were asked by Justice Ajay Bhanot on a petition filed by managing committee Madarsa Anjuman Islamia Faijul Uloom. It is recognized by the Madarsa Board and gets help from the state government. The High Court has given 4 weeks' time to the state government to answer all these questions. The matter will now be heard next on October 6.
