Making an uproar, the daughter of the former president of Iran says the Prophet Muhammad wasted his wife’s money

TEHERAN – Daughter of the former President Iran Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani is facing prosecution in court for his social media comments about the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and about Nabi Muhammad SAW .

“Faezeh Hashemi, 59, was summoned by prosecutors on these two matters,” the spokesman for Iran’s judicial authority, Zabihollah Khodayian, told a news conference as reported by the website. Mizan Online.

“Faezeh Hashemi’s statement about sanctions against revolutionary institutions and insults to the Prophet,” continued Khodayian, quoted by Voice of AmericaWednesday (11/5/2022).

Hashemi, a former member of Parliament and women’s rights activist, argued in mid-April during an audio debate on a social media forum that Iran’s request that the IRGC be removed from the US list of terrorist organizations undermines the country’s national interests.

The removal of the terrorist label is Tehran’s main demand in stalled negotiations to restore a messy 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

In a video posted separately on social media, Hashemi said that Khadijah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad, was a businessman. However, with a smile, the daughter of the former president said; “He [Nabi Muhammad] wasting his wife’s money.”

“It was a joke…with no intention of insulting,” he said during a clarification, the news agency reported IRNA.

Former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has died, was a moderate politician who advocated better relations with the West and the United States.

Hashemi was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison in late 2012 on charges of propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
