`Fatwa' against cow slaughter
NEW DELHI,
FEB. 1.
The Darululoom in Deoband, a top religious body of Muslims, today issued a "fatwa" (religious order) against slaughter of cows in the country.
A three-member committee of the Darululoom has recommended that Muslims can slaughter animals other than the cow on Id-ul-Azha, according to Maulana Zafarullah.
The BJP and various organisations, including the RSS, welcomed the move and said it was a step in promoting unity and brotherhood between Muslims and Hindus.
The RSS spokesman, Ram Madhav, said the move would resolve the cow slaughter issue peacefully and promote communal harmony in the country.
The BJP spokesman, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, said the Darululoom's decision would lead to greater brotherhood between the two communities.
Maulana Mehmood Madni of the Jamiat-Ulema-i-Hind said his organisation had passed a resolution to this effect about a year ago.
N.K. Sharma, founder-president of the Universal Association for Spiritual Awareness, welcomed the "courageous" action of the Darululoom. — UNI
