Pakistan: Maulvi Issues ‘Fatwa’ Against Building First Hindu Temple In Islamabad, Calls It ‘Un-Islamic’

Last week, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan approved Rs 10 lakh for construction of the first Hindu temple in capital city Islamabad. Now, a leading religious school in the country has issued a “fatwa” against the idea, calling it “un-Islamic”.

The fatwa says that in Islamic nations, while repair of existing structure for non-Muslims is allowed, construction of new places of worship is not.

The report says that minority MP Lal Malhi has assured that the temple would be built despite the fatwa.
