Some people say that Deoband's Darul Ifta has been infiltrated by the Yahood.

Question

Some people say that Deoband's Darul Ifta has been infiltrated by the Yahood. Is there any truth in it?

Answer

Infiltration by enemies into any Deeni institution is quite possible. Hitherto, we can say with surety that Darul Uloom Deoband's Ifta department has not been infiltrated by any Yahudi. If it had, there would have been some inclination in the fatwas towards the Yahood and Israel. Nevertheless, we are of the view that liberalism has crept into Darul Uloom Deoband. It is no longer as it was during the era of the Akaabireen.
