29 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Was it wrong to publish the allegations against Nouman Ali Khan?

29 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Why does it matter that the word 'abuse' was used about Nouman Ali Khan?

29 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Is cyberbullying and attacking someone's honour haram in Islam?

A crime goes to the authorities; a haram act is for God alone to judge.
