Many Muslim clerics have reacted strongly to this statement of Shahabuddin Rajvi. All India Shia Personal Law Board General Secretary and Shia religious leader Maulana Yasub Abbas said about Shahabuddin in Lucknow that his statement has been given only to gain cheap popularity. Fasting is a matter of personal faith, it should not be made controversial. Religion is not a matter of compulsion, but a subject of faith and desire.
Shia religious leader Maulana Yasub Abbas’s statement
According to Maulana Yasub Abbas, Shahabuddin has made such a statement for cheap popularity. Roza is mandatory for everyone and everyone follows it. Keeping fast is essential for every adult, but there is no compulsion in Islam, no one can be forced to keep fast. Where there is force, there is no religion and where there is religion, there is no force. If a person is playing for the country, then how can anyone tell whether he is fasting or not? If a person does not fast, it is possible that he should fast later.
Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahali said this.
Mohammed Shami and All India Muslim Personal Law Board Executive Member Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahali said in Lucknow, “It is mandatory for all Muslims to keep Roja, especially in the month of Ramadan. However, Allah has clearly mentioned in the Quran that if a person is on a journey or his health is not good, he can have an option to keep Rosa with Mohammed. Nobody has the right to raise a finger on him. “
