Fatwa by Lahore's #Deobandi seminary Jamia Ashrafia: In an Islamic state, non-Muslims are allowed to maintain and renovate their existing places of worship but they are not allowed to build new ones. ImageImage
That's the traditional position of 4 #Sunni schools (#Hanafi, #Shafii, #Maliki, #Hanbali) and Twelver Shias: non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state can maintain and renovate their existing places of worship but not build news ones.
#Salafi cleric Allama Hisham Elahi Zaheer: #Barelvi, #Deobandi, #Salafi and all Muslim schools agree that non-Muslims can't build news places of worship in an Islamic state. Pakistan govt has cancelled Hajj subsidy but spends public money on a Hindu temple in Islamabad.
Hammad Lakhvi, Dean of Islamic Studies at Punjab University: In an Islamic state, non-Muslims can renovate existing places of worship but not build new ones. To help them build new place of worship is to help propagate disbelief. A Muslim would rather die than assist disbelief.
#Barelvi cleric Mufti Munib-ur-Rehman: An Islamic state can't use taxpayers' money to build a Hindu temple. However, non-Muslims can buy their own lands and build their places of worship with their own money.
#Deobandi cleric Mufti Taqi Usmani: In an Islamic state, non-Muslims can maintain their places of worship and also build new ones as required. However, it is not permissible for an Islamic govt to build a Hindu temple using taxpayers' money. Image
#Deobandi, #Salafi and @JIPOfficial leaders denounced the government’s move of building a Hindu temple in Islamabad and termed it against Pakistan’s ideology. They also announced that they would take up the issue in the Federal Shariat Court. nation.com.pk/02-Jul-2020/re… Image
Fatwa by Lahore's #Barelvi seminary Jamia Naeemia: An Islamic state can't use the public money to build a new place of worship for non-Muslims. Hindus can renovate the old temple in Saidpur village near Islamabad and use that for worship. ImageImageImage
#Shia cleric Allama Aoun Naqvi: If today Pakistan govt builds a Hindu temple, tomorrow we can also demand the construction of mosques and Imambargahs with the public money. If Hindus need the temple, they should build it with their own private money.
#Barelvi cleric Mufti Hassan Raza Naqshbandi: In Pakistan, mosques are built with private donations but a Hindu temple is being built with public money. I tell federal ministers that if they built the temple, honorable Pakistanis will chop your heads and put them before dogs.
