Faḍl al-Ḥaqq ibn Wājid ad-Dīn al-Amīnī (Arabic: فضل الحق بن واجد الدين الأميني; c.1945 – 12 December 2012),[a] or simply Fazlul Hoque Amini (Bengali: ফজলুল হক আমিনী) was an Islamic scholar and politician from Bangladesh.
In 1969, following the request of Shamsul Haque Faridpuri, Amini advanced his knowledge of ahadith and fiqh by going to Jamia Binoria in Karachi, West Pakistan for one year where he studied under Muhammad Yousuf Banuri.
He managed to become MP during the 2001 Bangladeshi general election as a part of the Islami Oikya Jote party, receiving over 55% of total votes.
He was able to create a strong mass movement when the Bangladesh High Court ruled in early 2001 to ban the fatwa.
[13][14] According to Rashidul Hasan, writing in The Daily Star in April 2011: Amini, in his booklet, termed anti-Islamic the policy's section-23.5 that talks about women's equal opportunity and participation in employment, wealth, market and business.
So is section 25.2, which seeks to give women full control over the wealth they accumulate through earning, inheritance, loans and market management, according to Amini.
[18] He spent the remainder of his life under what he termed "house arrest", his movements confined by police to his home and the IOJ party office in Lalbagh Thana, Dhaka.
[22] Hefazat-e-Islam, led by Amini's teacher Ahmad Shafi,[citation needed] called for a 13-point movement against the government's policies and the demand of a blasphemy law.
