REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BERLIN - A court in Germany has ruled that a Muslim girl cannot be excused from mixed-sex swimming lessons on the grounds of religious belief. The 13-year-old girl from Frankfurt had argued that the sight of bare-chested male pupils breached her religious modesty.

She also claimed that accepting the school's offer that she herself could wear a full-body "burkini" swimsuit in the pool would expose her to discrimination among her peers.

But Germany's Federal Administrative Court ruled Wednesday that it was reasonable to compromise between the girl's religious freedom and the state's duty to educate its citizens. The dpa news agency reported that the unnamed girl's father said before the verdict that he would accept the ruling.

About 5 percent of Germany's population of 80 million is Muslim.

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّ اَرِنِيْ كَيْفَ تُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰىۗ قَالَ اَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ ۗقَالَ بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَطْمَىِٕنَّ قَلْبِيْ ۗقَالَ فَخُذْ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِفَصُرْهُنَّ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِيْنَكَ سَعْيًا ۗوَاعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌحَكِيْمٌ ࣖ
Dan (ingatlah) ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Ya Tuhanku, perlihatkanlah kepadaku bagaimana Engkau menghidupkan orang mati.” Allah berfirman, “Belum percayakah engkau?” Dia (Ibrahim) menjawab, “Aku percaya, tetapi agar hatiku tenang (mantap).” Dia (Allah) berfirman, “Kalau begitu ambillah empat ekor burung, lalu cincanglah olehmu kemudian letakkan di atas masing-masing bukit satu bagian, kemudian panggillah mereka, niscaya mereka datang kepadamu dengan segera.” Ketahuilah bahwa Allah Mahaperkasa, Mahabijaksana.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 260)
