Indian clerics issuing fatwas for money

A television channel on Sunday aired purported footage of Muslim clerics in New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh issuing fatwas for a payment, triggering condemnation from community leaders and protests in Meerut.

The clerics allegedly issued fatwas on a variety of subjects, including the use of credit cards and camera phones by Muslims, acting in films, and watching television, said the report on Star News that carried out a sting operation along with Cobrapost in Delhi and Meerut.

This is ridiculous. I wonder how watching television and using camera phones is against Islam ?

Re: Indian clerics issuing fatwas for money

Who is paying off these corrupt clerics?

Television when it comes to u know naked people, people in sleazy clothes, and u know inappropriate stuff, and its discouraged to take pictures in Islam...I mean these things rn't prohibited, just discouraged.
