Unfrotunately on the net I have not seen many people who approach this issue in an unbiased manner. Many, rather almost all are preoccupied with love for Mufti Taqi Saheb db. so naturally as soon as they hear a certain Mufti Zarwali or certain Maulana Saleemullah Khan db. speaking negatively about Mufti Taqi Saheb db. these people become defensive and loose sight of bias.

I have seen such unbias to even stronger degree among the students of Mufti Saheb and even Ulama who otherwise do not know much of these finanicial issues (in detail). A majority of these Ulama and his students simply take Mufti Saheb as an unquestionable authority in finance, so much so that anyone and everyone who may say otherwise has to be unqualified for an opinion.

I agree with your point. Laymen like me are biased out of their love for Mufti saheb db. This is not the right approach as no one after the Prophets is masoom.

Without geting into the issues of who is speaking the truth and who is not, I think for us laymen we simply need to sit back, have sabr and await for these Ulama to reconcile on the issue.

Excellent advice

The "Islamic Murawaja Banking" was not a compilation of a few unqualified Mufties, rather many muftis within the field of finance. Similarly, Mufti Taqi Saheb db finally coming out to explain the fiqhi issues and answering them is indeed a posative sign. Perhaps it opens a good way of finally approaching him with regards to these issues.

It would be great to get to know some of the Muftis and their contributions in the field of Islamic finance. Also if some of them have hopefully proposed some alternate structures.

But my question was a little different. I want to see the efforts made by these ulema to correct Mufti saheb's positions. Even in their document there is not even one count of someone approaching Mufti saheb for a healthy discussion.
A laymen like me can phone Mufti saheb from Canada and ask a question and these ulema can't get hold of him in Pakistan, can't comprehend this....

Before the "muttafiqa" fatwa was published, there is the incident where Mufti saheb db himself went to their darul iftaa to seek a copy of the fatwa being prepared. A lot of these ulema are much junior to Mufti saheb db, they could have been persuasive if mufti saheb didn't answer something perhaps due to shortage of time (we all know how busy Hazrat db is).

If there was an effort done then simply let laymen like me know about it. On the other hand if it wasn't done then thats very sad.

I pray that Mufti Taqi Saheb db. not only cater for the local opposition with academic responses, rather also address the issues some foreign Iftaa Dept. have been requesting him to consider. I know this because of the requests sent out from our own darul iftaa, which have long been forgotten. I sincerely hope these issues get a proper addressing.

Hazrat db or someone else at DUK should definitely look into it.


In the end I would say difference is not a bad thing at all. It puts a check on everyone but I believe an effort to reconcile before going public is important
