Wa-alaikumus salaam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh.
The news of Mufti Farooq Saheb Meerathi having passed on has not been confirmed by his immediate family. In fact Mufti Saheb's brother in Meerath has expressed reservations and is NOT convinced that the photograph of Mufti Saheb's circulated by the Indian Consulate is in fact that of Mufti Saheb. Is it not strange that the companion who related that Mufti Farooq Saheb was reciting the Kalimah and Labbaik "until his voice faded" remained silent about it and has only divulged this information about 15 days after he was buried on the 13th of Zhul Hijjah? Where was this companion all these days? Moulana Ebrahim Pandor Saheb of South Africa who was the special khadim/aide of Hazrat Mufti Mahmood Saheb Gangohi (R.A.) and also very close to Mufti Farooq Saheb has politely requested that such rumours should not be circulated until verified by Mufti Saheb's immediate family and associates. Jazakumullah.
I have some sweet memories associated with Mufti Sahab (RA). My young Mufti friend called his family and says that the family has now accepted the sad reality. May Allah (SWT) elevate the status of Mufti Farooq Khan Sahab (NM).
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
