During the Ottoman times Muftis & Qadis were appointed by the Gov’t nominated Religious Council. Now nearly all Muftis are self-appointed.
As for the Fatwa’s; Deoband scholars declared use of Loud Speaker ‘Unlawful’ or ‘Haraam’ because they could not be sure whether the sound coming out was original or duplicate. The famous anti-Pakistani Sheikhul Hind, Maulana Hassan Madani considered that loudspeaker compromised integrity of the prayer. It was only after 'Hajis' returning from Mecca testified to its use there that loudspeaker became common place in the mosques in Pakistan.
Problem is that even though ‘Qiyas’ or thinking /reasoning is allowed in Islam, most of the Islamic Theologians; having little knowledge of the outside world; consider anything that was not present during the time of the Rashidun as ‘Beda’a’ or innovation and thus haraam.
Most of the Mulsim Leaders starting with Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Quaid-e- Azam etc. have also been declared ‘Kafir’ at onetime or another. I don't like Taliban Khan but he is certainly not 'Kafir'. I wouldn’t worry about what this bigoted two bit Mullah says one way or another.
Why Mullah like 'Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadri' are even allowed an inch space. Until and unless we do not arrest these so called Islam kay thakedaars, violence in the name of religion will never be end.

idiots‘Kufr’ Fatwa to be issued against Imran Khan unless he publicly apologizes, religious group issues serious warning
Pakistan
by Hamza Rao | Published on January 2, 2017
LAHORE – Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadri, a religious scholar who issued Fatwa of infidelity against Shaan Taseer, has written an open letter to Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Imran Khan over his speech regarding prophet Muhammad (PBUH), warning him of facing ‘dire consequences’ if he doesn’t render an apology.
The Fatwa alleges that Imran Khan, in one of his speeches, had said blasphemous sentences for the Prophet (PBUH) and ‘accused’ him of being mentally ill.
Talking to Daily Pakistan, Pir Muhammad Afzal Qadri said that if the leader doesn’t render an open apology, the organisation will formally issue a religious edict, declaring him a ‘Wajib-ul-Qatal’ (liable to death).
“If the state fails to execute Imran Khan, it wouldn’t be a crime if any ‘aashiq-e-Rasool’ (lover of prophet P.B.U.H) kills him. He will be exempt from Qisas and Diyat (blood money),” Qadri told Daily Pakistan, adding the blood of blasphemer – in this case, Imran Khan’s – has no worth compared to Prophet (PBUH).
Just recently, Qadri had also issued a ‘Kufr’ fatwa against Shaan Taseer, son of the slain Governor Salman Taseer, for allegedly committing blasphemy in his ‘Christmas special’ video message.
It is pertinent to note that under the National Action Plan (NAP), religious extremism and persecution was outlawed. Hate speech and threats under the label of religious beliefs were supposed to be dealt with high sensitivity. However, the majority of the hate speech has gone scot-free.

This kind will understand more when western countries will / if enforce similar kind of blasphemy laws upon them .. today this kind can get up and talk their hearts and minds in parks and places in western countries critising whoever they like "from religious figures , personal beleif to the head of the state " under the umbrella of freedom of speech but the same kind is un-willing to give similar rights to minorities in their respective / native countries/ lands .. isnt that a top notch hippocract or what is if there is an example existing !!?
The reason behind not expressing my opinion about this particular case is the fact that I don't have the knowledge to verify or negate this fatwa. I didn't even listen to the original statement of IK. So it's advisable for people like us to shut our mouth. The margin of error in this particular case is very minute. People needs to understand the severity of the situation and must be very very careful about issuing any absolute statements.Bro, You are absolutely right. In this particular case I feel the Molvi Sahab went a bit too far by declaring him a Kafir and wajibul Qatal.
The burden of this fatwa rests on the shoulder on Mufti Sahib. We should avoid taking such a huge burden.Molvi Sahab should have remembered, our Lord is the same one who forgave a prostitute for giving water to a thirsty najas animal, a dog. Then there is the incident of the guy who had murdered 99 people, and sought forgiveness. A direct approach to IK , and seeking clarification would have been a better option, rather than issuing a death warrant in the media.
It's questionable. But it doesn't mean that we should start to malign him by declaring him a terrorist, extremist, Mullah, Jahil etc. Our people have the tendency to issue absolute statements.IK's intention was by no means to malign, hurt, damage, or take Islam of on a tangent, so a fatwa like this is very questionable. Don't you think so?
He is a Pakistani and have every right to critisize any one as he like
The matter is closed now.
I have seen the video of the SKH Karachi ceremony, and couldn't find anything wrong with IK's speech, hence my shock at this fatwa. I would suggest you look at the video, read the translation of Surah Al Qalam & Surah Ad Dhuha please.
Secondly, I personally find Tahir ul Qadri to be a hypocrite, he cries for Pakistan while sitting in Canada. Each time he runs out of cash he comes howling. Can't stand him.
Had it been anyone else, I wouldn't have bothered, but for you I have immense respect and love. I hope you will take my words with the best of intentions.
Best Regards
Is it? What if another scum bag pops up and says it's not enough and IK needs to pay with his blood?
My point is there cannot be a state within a state. If IK Indeed committed a crime than an apology alone should not be acceptable but only a state can decide to the extent they want to go and not some two bit mullah.
This kind of act only strengthens the Intolerance present in our society.
