Most Dārul Iftās teach Uṣūl al-Iftāʾ wa Ādābuhu by Mufti Taqi Sahib alongside Sharḥ ʿUqūd Rasm al- Muftī.

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.

Muslim he dealt in wine and pork. Can he now use that money for himself? Is the money halaal for him?

A. The money he earned by selling wine/pork whilst he was a non-Muslim, is halaal for him after having accepted Islam.
