No law is above Shariah: clerics on Triple Talaq Bill

Saharanpur: Darul Uloom remained silent over the passing of Triple Talaq Bill saying there is no new stand of the body on the issue. On the other side, clerics opposed the passing of bill saying no law can be above Shariah. Mufti Abul Qasim Nomani of Darul Uloom said there is no different stand of Darul Uloom and the Muslim body sticks to its old stance. There is nothing new to say, he said.

It must be noted that Darul Uloom has always termed Triple Talaq Bill as inference in Shariah. Maulana Nomani said Triple Talaq is the inevitable part of Islam. For Muslims, a bill interfering in Shariah has no meaning. Muslims believes in Shariah and will continue to follow it, he said.

Shaikhul Hadeeth of Darul Uloom Waqf and national president of Tanzeem Ulama-e-Hind Maulana Ahmed Khizr Shah Masoodi opposed the Triple Talaq bill and said the government is interfering in religious matters. No bill against Shariah will be supported, he said.

Patron of Jamiat Dawatul Muslimeen Maulana Qari Ishaq Gora said Triple Talaq Bill is sheer interference in Islam and Shariah. He said though Triple Talaq or Talaq Bidah is wrong, it is also wrong on part of the government to make a law against it. It is a religious issue hence it should be left to the clerics, he told.
