Question
In India recently a man raped his daughter-in-law. In response to a question, the Darul Ifta of Darul Uloom Deoband issued the Fatwa that the raped woman is no longer lawful for her husband, and that they should part. Mr.Yawar Baig of India criticized the Fatwa and maintains that the Nikah is valid. Please comment.
Answer
The character, Yawar Baig is a moron. He does not understand what he has blurted out. It appears that he believes
himself to be a mujtahid whilst he still struggles at kindergarten level. His opinion is corrupt and baatil. Deoband's Fatwa is 100% correct and the moron's view is 100% baatil bunkum. We have published a detail response which has been circulated on the internet.
