Question

Most Dārul Iftās teach Uṣūl al-Iftāʾ wa Ādābuhu by Mufti Taqi Sahib alongside Sharḥ ʿUqūd Rasm al-Muftī. Is it acceptable to study the book Uṣūl al-Iftāʾ wa Ādābuhu by Mufti Taqi Sahib, as long as one does not agree with his bāṭil positions and does not become influenced or overawed?

Answer

Mufti Taqi is a liberal who is adept in mutilating the Ahkaam of the Shariah for accommodation in the western lifestyle. That is why he is so fully trapped in riba banks and halaalizing pictography with fanciful corrupt arguments which even laymen can understand to be khuraafaat (nonsensical). His strong inclination towards liberalism which even legalizes fisq renders him persona non grata.

For correct understanding of Ilm-e-Deen textual knowledge is not sufficient. Barkat is a necessary requisite since Ilm is a Noor from Allah Ta'ala.

It is best to abstain from studying Mufti Taqi's kitaab. Furthermore, it is indeed lamentable that when the Kutub of illustrious Ulama and Akaabir are available, the kitaab of a liberal Molvi of our age should be included in the syllabus. This indicates the deficiency of the Aql of the Ulama of our era.
