New Delhi, July 21: Triple talaq crusader Nida Khan on Saturday received fresh threats for her fight against Islamic practice of instant divorce that has asked her to either leave India in three days or “she’ll be stoned”. Speaking to news agency ANI, Khan said that a fatwa has been issued against her which says that “whoever brings her chopped hair will be rewarded”.

“A fatwa issued against me says whosoever brings chopped hair of Nida Khan will be rewarded with an amount of Rs.11786 and if I do not leave this country within 3 days, I will be attacked with stones,” she said, adding that “these people issuing fatwas should be stopped.” Also Read - Muslim Personal Law Board Files Plea in Supreme Court Opposing PIL Seeking 'Ban on Polygamy, Nikah Halala'

A local cleric in Bareilly had on July 17 issued a fatwa against Nida Khan, who runs an NGO to help women who are victims of practices like instance divorce and nikal halala, for speaking against Islam and its practices. The Iman has reportedly asked people to boycott Nida Khan or face “dismissal” from Islam. While the copy of the written Fatwa uses the name ‘Hinda’ instead of ‘Nida’, a cleric later clarified that the fatwa has been issued for Nida.

Following the fatwa against her, the Bareilly administration has decided to step up the security of social activist Nida Khan, who had come out in support of a nikah halala victim in the district. The security of Khan, who belongs to the famous Ala Hazrat family and is the chairperson of Ala Hazrat Helping Society, has been stepped up and she will now get two gunners instead of one, Senior Superintendent of Police Muniraj G said.
