Muzaffarnagar: Leading Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa against manufacturing and selling of firecrackers, saying it was against Sharia law.
Manufacturing and selling of firecrackers is against
Sharia law, and bursting of crackers is misuse of money, the
fatwa said, adding that men who misuse money are the "brothers
of devil."
The fatwa was issued on a query from a man involved in
the business of manufacturing firecrackers.
A large number of Muslims are involved in manufacturing
firecrackers in the country.
