Allah forbids in the Qur'an to marry these idol worshippers but it is so common 
in India to see Muslims marrying among them. Then people like these khans dare 
to say it's islamicly ok.

And do not marry Al-Mushrikât (idolatresses, etc.) till they believe (worship 
Allâh Alone). And indeed a slave woman who believes is better than a (free) 
Mushrikah (idolatress, etc.), even though she pleases you. And give not (your 
daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikûn till they believe (in Allâh Alone) and 
verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolater, etc.), 
even though he pleases you. Those (Al-Mushrikûn) invite you to the Fire, but 
Allâh invites (you) to Paradise and Forgiveness by His Leave, and makes His 
Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) clear to 
mankind that they may remember. (Al-Baqarah 2:221)

It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have 
decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And 
whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain 
error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)

'Fatwa' against Salman Khan, family for celebrating Ganeshotsav

Fri, Sep 12 11:35 PM

Mumbai, Sep 12 (IANS) Veteran Bollywood scriptwriter Salim Khan, the father of 
actor Salman Khan, Friday questioned a fatwa, religious edict, against him by 
some Muslim organizations for celebrating Ganeshotsav at their home here.

"What is the locus standi of these people? Who are they to question people's 
religious beliefs? Why don't they issue such a 'fatwa' against terrorists and 
terrorism, which is un-Islamic? The clerics are talking nonsense," he thundered 
before a television channel Friday evening.

Mufti Manjar Hassan Khan Ashrafi Misbahi, the chief of Darul-Uloom Hijaziya 
Chishti, Mumbai, issued the 'fatwa' urging a religious boycott of the entire 
Khan family on Wednesday.

Last week, the Khan family was in the limelight when all members along with 
friends and relations celebrated the Ganeshotsav festival at their home in 
Bandra, northwest Mumbai.

The Khans celebrate Ganeshotsav every year, but this time, the live telecast of 
the family performing 'aarti' (invocation) of Lord Ganesh has irked some 
community leaders. Later, the family took part in a ceremonial immersion of the 
idol of Lord Ganesh.

The social boycott call was issued in response to a demand by Abdul Rehman 
Anjaria, member of the Advisory Council, Jama Masjid, New Delhi.

Anjaria, who is also member All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), told 
IANS Friday evening that the 'fatwa' would be in force until Khan and his 
family atone for their actions of worshipping an idol of Lord Ganesh, which is 
not permitted in Islam.

Referring to Salim Khan's outburst against the fatwa, Anjaria said they would 
call for certified tapes of his comments from the TV channel soon.

"Depending on what he has said, the community elders may go for stringent 
action against the Khans, including a social boycott," Anjaria explained.

According to Anjaria, Maulana Abdus Salam Bin Qasmi, president, 
Jamiat-Ul-Ulema-Hind, Mumbai, and Maulana Nizamuddin Ashrafi, principal, Darul 
Uloom Ali Hassain Ali Sunnat, Mumbai, who is also a member of AIMPLB, have also 
supported the 'fatwa'.

Despite repeated attempts by IANS, Salim and Salman Khan were not available for 
their comments in the matter.

Last year too Salman Khan had been issued a similar 'fatwa' by a Lucknow-based 
organization of Muslim clerics for joining the Ganeshotsav celebrations.

Justifying the decision to celebrate Ganeshotsav, Salim said his wife (Salman's 
mother) is a Maharashtrian Hindu and "worshipping Lord Ganesh is in my blood".
