In an article called ‘Standing up against Homosexuality’, Haddad wrote of “the scourge of homosexuality”, which he calls a “criminal act”.[17] On women, he declared that “a man should not be questioned why he hit his wife, because this is something between them”.[18] In addition to this he has also claimed that “the most honourable and worthy role for a woman is striving to be a fine wife...this role does not only secure the best for a woman in the hereafter, but also fits perfectly with her natural disposition”[19] He has claimed that there is a "proper" way of performing FGM,[4] further saying "it is consensus of all the scholars that female circumcision is sunnah [proper]".[20]
