Cleric objects to Aamir-Gauri marriage
According to ANI, Maulana Ibrahim Hussain, the Shahi Chief Mufti of the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta, has issued a fatwa against Aamir Khan over his marriage to Gauri Spratt, saying it goes against Sharia because she is not a Muslim.In a video that has surfaced online, the cleric said, “Muslim mard ke liye, iman walon ke liye, gair Muslim se shaadi karna haraam hai.”He further claimed that a Muslim man marrying a non-Muslim woman is committing a sin and said those who do not accept it as sinful would ultimately be answerable to Allah.
Comments on multiple marriages
The Maulana also commented on the practice of marrying, divorcing and remarrying, saying it is not justified if a person cannot fulfil the responsibilities of each marriage fairly.Referring to Aamir Khan, he said, “This question is about film actor Aamir Khan. He has recently entered into a third marriage with a non-Muslim woman. In connection with that, we have also seen protests taking place in society…”Neither Aamir Khan nor his representatives have commented on the cleric’s remarks or the reported fatwa.
