New Delhi : Nearly six thousand Islamic scholars in India have endorsed fatwa issued by Darrul Uloom, Deoband in May last.
On the first day of the 29th annual convention of Jamiat-e- Ulama-e-Hind in Hyderabad on Saturday, the scholars endorsed the fatwa under the seal of grand mufti Habibur Rehman of Darrul Uloom issued on May 31, Hindustan Times reported.
The convention comprising 50,000 scholars and community leaders hailing from different parts of India will also endorse the fatwa.
The daily said that earlier, the working committee of the Jamiat decided to oppose both Muslim and Hindu outfits for trying to fan communal passion in the wake of bomb blasts in several cities of India.
The Jamiat’s working committee meeting will also discuss the forthcoming Lok Sabha (Lower House) elections expected to be held in early next year.
Resolutions on the issue are expected to be adopted by the Committee.
