Religious leaders send away fatwa alongside Shahrukh Khan

An Islamic seminary has issued a fatwa adjacent to Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan for allegedly making explanation against Islam even as Muslim religious leaders distanced themselves from the announcement, calling it “unnecessary” as the actor had offered his clarification.



“A person making a remark like the one attributed to Shahrukh is a kafir (non-believer) and is struck out of Islam,” said the fatwa issued by Mufti Mohammed Shoeb Raza Qadri and Mufti Muti-ur-Rehman of the Darul-uloom-Mazhar-e- Islam. Such a human being must offer an immediate request for forgiveness to come again to Islam, the fatwa said. Shahrukh Khan has muscularly denied the comments attributed to him in a conference in print in a magazine, saying he had been misquoted.
