Asslamo Allaikum Brothers,
I never claimed that action of hosting British Army Soldiers is/was done under the Mushwara of either Hazrat (Maulana) Yusuf Motala (HA) or Shaykyul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Abdur-Raheem Limbada (HA) and not even claimed that they are aware of this.
To the best of my knowledge this Masjid and their committee have done Mushwara with Hazrat (Maulana) Yusuf Motala (HA) and Hazrat (HA) have advised them on numerous occasions. I have also that Shaykyul-Hadeeth (Maulana) Abdur-Raheem Limbada (HAhas programs in that Masjid, weekly.
If any of the above is:
- Incorrect
- a lie
- Slander
- Disrespectful to any of the Akabir
All in all this Masjid, Ulamah and committee do have a relationship so consult the Ulamah and ask the question if its permissable to host the Army like this. If they deny that this is a rumour and it never happened, even better. If they say that its permissable to host Non-Muslims (of this nature and category) then present their answer in public to say "there is nothing wrong with that".
If someone feels strongly about it or Bay't to Akabir please bring it to their attention. We have not issued any statements or judgement calls rather consulted a top Mufti and then taken his permission to make his Fatwa public and there is no underhanded tactics or secrets.
Please state so and I will apologise and retract straight away. I have written this in PUBLIC so my error should be pointed out in PUBLIC so I can retract and apologise.
Jazakullah Khairun
