Muslims believe in Al-Qur’an Al-Kareem, not in “Bahishti Zewar”.
I don’t care what some Indian Mullah influenced by his Hindu background and surroundings wrote in his “Heavenly Ornaments”.
I use to think Deobandis were a little more sensible than other South Asian sects but they also have their silly Fatwas.
I use to rely a lot on Mr Desai’s Fatwas but his website has had so much contradicting material.
The Prophet :saw: married Mother Juwayriyah :razi2: the Hebrew who was an ex-Jew.
Bilal the Abyssinian :razi: married an Arab lady.
The Prophet :saw: himself married his cousiness from his Qureshi tribe to a freed slave from outside, the marriage didn’t work out but the fact that the Prophet :saw: married them in the first place shows it’s perfectly allowed.
There’s lots of other examples from the Prophet’s PBUT, Sahaabah and Ahle-Bait (MABPWT).
