DI publicized this themselves.
when i said not every fatwa needs to be publicized, i meant that it is possible they might have issued a fatwa of riddah in private to someone
Exactly: so do you think this vague fatwa from DI helps???
no, it doesn't help the awam much.
and neither does anyone else's fatwa - especially from pakistan.
in this case, almost everything (that i am aware of) that has come out of pakistani ulema is at the same level of vagueness.
can you bring a fatwa from PROMINENT pakistani ulema or darul ulooms? (not a rhetoric question. i am really hunting for reputable ulema's hard core fatwa on tahir, Hussam ul Haramayn style)
of course, if everyone does something, it's no evidence of it being right - BUT - i say again, tahir's mess runs deeper into politics, media and mafia
on this forum, i have seen only 2 to 3 fatwas declaring tahir a murtad. one is by Akhtar Raza Sahib, another by Misbahi Sahib, and i think there might have been a third one.
again, when it comes to tahir, i am NOT satisfied with the actions Sunni ulema and darul iftaa's have taken - be they from DI or any city or organization.
it's all in bits and pieces leaving the awam to connect the dots
why? is DI (or I or anybody else) above criticism or perfect?? nobody is.
you misunderstood what i said. let me rephrase that:
anything anyone says against DI
thus far can only be counted as intra-Sunni-envy, jalaapa, and sadraapa at worst; or simply a disagreement with their furoo3 in deen and strategy in duniya at best!
if in the future they do something that violates Sunniyat, then of course they will be called out.
i say again brother:
bring some evidence that DI supports
a) heretic individual/group xyz with full knowledge of their heresies; or
b) heretic position xyz
if someone can't provide any evidence for this, they got nothing on DI in terms of Sunniyat.
you can hate their operating strategies or refute them on the furoo3i masaail of movies, but it doesn't mean anything.
this applies to any and every Sunni person or group of the face of the earth.
not every Sunni in the world will be from DI, not every Sunni in the world will be Arab, not every Sunni in the world will be Qadiri or Ridawi, not every Sunni in the world will be Hanafi
we can and will differ on furoo3 and worldly strategies, but that is no reason for holding grudges or looking down upon each other.
