A Sharia law scholar from Birmingham has appeared on Good Morning Britain to defend a high street retailer's decision to stock hijabs.
Dr Amra Bone, who sits on the Sharia Council in Birmingham, has defended Marks & Spencer's decision to sell the item to girls as young as four.
The doctor claimed it was a smart business move.
Dr Bone claimed the high street giant was merely responding to the needs of British Muslims.
On the ITV morning favourite, Dr Bone appeared alongside Birmingham Labour MP Khalid Mahmood to discuss the issue.
The hijab, which comes in black and navy, costs £6, comes in small, medium and large but no age group was specifically mentioned.
But a reviewer of the item suggested a medium would fit a girl of four.
Since then, the garment has sparked criticism and outrage from campaigners and customers.
Some have gone as far as to accuse M&S of oppressing young girls. [Birmingham Mail] Read more
