Answer :
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh The ruling of the local Imam to tie the mouth of a woman is baseless. There is no such requirement in shariah. Your father has conducted himself in an irresponsible way by stuffing your mouth. The imam should be dismissed from his position as he is a jaahil misleading people. And Allah knows best Wassalam Mufti Ebrahim Desai
