In fact, the centenary jalsah which Darul Uloom Deoband had organized some time ago was also haraam. In the wake of that haraam jalsah, the illustrious Institution of our noble Akaabir Ulama and Auliya split into two hostile factions, with both factions today signalling the departure of genuine Ilm from these institutions.

When a fatwa is issued on a practice, its originators are not valid reason for concealing the Haqq by sweeping the haraam accretions under the carpet and condoning the institution simply because our Shaikh, Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) had originated it. The criterion is the Shariah, not the personages.
