Clerics say AAP cap is anti-Islamic Clerics say AAP cap is anti-Islamic

This is one crisis Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will find difficult to handle. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cap with the image of a broom has raised the hackles of a section of clerics, who have issued a fatwa against it.A section of clerics in Varanasi has said the AAP cap is anti-Islamic and Muslims must not wear it."A broom is used for cleaning garbage. So, sporting its image on the head is anti-Islamic. In Islam, we bow our head only before the Almighty. We cannot allow Muslims to wear such a cap," Hindustan Times quoted Mufti board secretary Maulana Haseen Ahmad Habibi as saying.Habibi added Kejriwal can use the image of broom anywhere, but not on head. We call upon Muslims to avoid the caps with the image of a broom.While Badshah Bagh, the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, agreed with him, general secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Mulana Nizamuddin said there was nothing wrong in wearing a cap during prayers as long as it did not carry the image of a jandaar (living object).However, local resident Dr Mohammed Mehboob Kadri said we are with the party. "We will not boycott it," he said.
