BAREILLY: In a controversial move, a cleric at Bareilly's influential Dargah Aala Hazrat seminary passed a fatwa on Monday asking people to boycott Nida Khan - an instant triple talaq victim who has been running an NGO for women who too are victims of the practice and nikah halala - or face "dismissal" from Islam . Though the copy of the written fatwa uses the name 'Hinda' instead of 'Nida', a cleric later told mediapersons that the fatwa has been passed for Nida.Responding to a query by Mufti Mohd Khurshid Alam Razvi, the imam of Bareilly Jama Masjid, an Aala Hazrat cleric, Mufti Afzaal Razvi, wrote while issuing the fatwa: "Halala is mentioned in the Quran . If Hinda does not apologise, she should be boycotted. Nobody should talk or greet her and people should stop eating with her, should not visit her if she is taken ill and if she dies, they should not read her last prayer or let her be buried in a graveyard." The fatwa was written by the cleric in the presence of Bareilly city qazi Maulana Asjad Raza Khan and TOI has a copy of the document.Nida Khan was divorced by her husband, Sheeran Raza, who is from the family of the head of Aala Hazrat, through instant talaq in 2016. She contested this in a civil court, which declared the divorce invalid.She had alleged that she had suffered a miscarriage after being assaulted by her husband in 2015. Khan has been highlighting the plight of instant triple talaq and nikah halala victims ever since, inviting the ire of clerics.Mufti Mohd Khurshid Alam Razvi said, "Nida wants amendment in sharia while Islamic laws were made by Allah. As Nida has been giving statements against Quran and Hadith, she is dismissed from Islam. If she publicly apologises, she will again become our sister. If any woman has any issue with talaq or other matter, she should approach darul ifta (council of clerics) and follow Islamic laws."When told that boycotting a person is against the Constitution, Mufti Mohd Khurshid Alam Razvi said, "We have announced a sharia boycott which is according to Islamic law."Khan however dismissed the fatwa and said that such fatwas have no legal sanctity.
