Fatwa Issued Against Sara Ali Khan Over Kedarnath Temple Visit
An Uttar Pradesh-based Islamic cleric has issued a fatwa against actress Sara Ali Khan following her visit to the Kedarnath Temple.
According to the cleric, Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, Islamic Sharia law does not permit Muslims to take part in the religious rituals or practices of other faiths. Citing these religious guidelines, the cleric stated that the actress should offer an apology before Allah, warning that she would otherwise be considered guilty of the highest order.
The incident has sparked fresh discussions surrounding celebrity visits to religious sites, while background notes indicate that non-Hindus visiting Kedarnath are required to submit an affidavit, which Sara's team reportedly submitted prior to her visit.
