He however added that this was not a ‘fatwa’, but his personal view.
“If anyone (Muslim) chooses other religious practices, then it is not appropriate. The country is free, and everyone knows about what is right and wrong,” he added.
Patron of Jamiat Dawat-ul Muslimeen, Maulana Qari Ishaq Gora, said: “Rules of the religion should be followed.”
