Ramzan: India has defeated Australia in the semi-final of the Champions Trophy. In this way, the Indian team has reached the final. But during the India-Australia semi-final, the video of Mohammed Shami drinking an energy drink is becoming very viral. Actually, Maulana Shahabuddin, the president of All India Muslim Jamaat, had commented on Mohammed Shami for not observing fast during Ramzan. Maulana Shahabuddin called Mohammed Shami a criminal. He said that if a Muslim is deliberately ignoring the fast then it is a sin in the eyes of Islam. He also said that Mohammed Shami should apologize to Allah because he has committed a big crime.
Statement of Maulana Shahabuddin
However, now Muslim religious leaders have reacted sharply to the statement of All India Muslim Jamaat President Maulana Shahabuddin. All India Shia Personal Law Board General Secretary and Shia religious leader Maulana Yasoob Abbas said in Lucknow that Maulana Shahabuddin made the statement for cheap popularity. He said that fasting is a matter of personal faith, it is not right to make it controversial, you cannot force in the name of religion. He also said that fasting is mandatory in Islam, but it is not forced. Apart from this, Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi, executive member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, expressed his views.

‘This is some mullah’
Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi, executive member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said that fasting is compulsory for all Muslims, especially during the month of Ramzan. But it is clearly mentioned that if a person is travelling and is not well, he has the option of not fasting. Mohammed Shami is on tour right now, so he has the option of not keeping Roza. On this whole issue, UP BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that following prayers, worship method, Ibadat, fast-rituals or Namaz Roza is a personal matter, no Mullah, Maulvi, Mufti or Ulema can decide this.
