Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan is reportedly facing a fatwa over her visit to the Kedarnath Temple. In the fatwa, issued by an Uttar Pradesh-based Islamic cleric named Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, he claimed that Islamic Sharia does not permit Muslims to participate in the religious rituals of other faiths.

According to Bhaskar English, while speaking about the controversy, the Maulana in a video said, “I want to make it clear that Islamic Sharia does not permit its followers to engage in shirk,” adding, “This means that no Muslim, whether a man or a woman, is allowed to adopt the religious practices of another faith or worship at a temple,” as reported by Bhaskar English.
