‘UnIslamic’, ‘unlawful’ to declare a person liable to death: CII

Allama Raghib Hussain Naimi, the Chairman of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII), has stated that declaring a person liable to death is both “un-Islamic” and “unlawful.”

In his statement, Naimi emphasied that such “emotional actions harm the purpose of the Khatm-e-Nabuwat (Seal of Prophets).” He asserted that no individual or group has the authority to execute someone based on their own court’s judgment or to issue a fatwa independently.

According to the statement, Naimi mentioned that if anyone disagrees with the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it should be discussed in a scholarly manner.

“A person cannot be allowed to judge the faith and religion of others according to their own arbitrary interpretations and issue a fatwa that they should be put to death,” he said.
