Assam Muslim clerics issue fatwa against 16-year-old singer Nahid Afrin who sang against Islamic State terrorism
The leaflets were distributed across Hojai and Nagaon districts in central Assam. The fatwa read that Nahid is scheduled to perform "against the Sharia" on March 25.
Assam, Mar 15: As many as 46 Assam Muslim clerics have issued a fatwa against 16-year-old Nahid Afrin who sang songs against Islamic State terrorism and asked her to perform in public. The up-and-coming singer was also a runner-up in one of the musical reality TV shows in 2015. Police have started an investigation into the matter and whether the fatwa was a reaction to Nahid recently performing songs against terrorism, including the Islamic State terror group. Police said that Nahid and her family would be provided security.
“We are looking at this angle as well,” ADG (special branch) Pallab Bhattacharya said, reported TOI. As per the reports, leaflets bearing the fatwa by the 46 clerics were distributed in Assam on Tuesday.
The leaflets were distributed across Hojai and Nagaon districts in central Assam. The fatwa read that Nahid is scheduled to perform “against the Sharia” on March 25 programme at Udali Sonai Bibi College in Lanka, Assam.
“If anti-Sharia acts like musical nights are held on grounds surrounded by masjids, idgahs, madrassas and graveyards, our future generations will attract the wrath of Allah,” the fatwa read.
16-year-old Nahid Afrin is a Class 10 student lives in Biswanath Chariali, Assam. As per the reports, she broke down after hearing the news of the fatwa that was issued against her by the Muslim clerics.
“I am speechless. I think my music is God’s gift to me. I will never bow down to it (such warnings) and never leave singing,” she said. Her mother added, “The organisers of the musical night told us that the programme on March 25 will not be cancelled.”
Nahid made her Bollywood debut with the 2016 Sonakshi Sinha film Akira and rose to fame across country after she participated in a TV reality show.

The leaflet, which is headlined Guhari (translates into request/appeal), asks people not to attend the March 25 event. “If anti-Sharia acts like musical nights are held on grounds surrounded by masjids, idgahs, madrassas and graveyards, our future generations will attract the wrath of Allah,” it reads.
Referring to a magic show that was recently held in the venue, the pamphlet proclaims that magic, drama, theatre, dance, etc. are intrinsically against Sharia. “If we don’t keep our children away from such things, Allah will not spare any of us,” it says. In context of the musical show that was to be held on March 25, the pamphlet warns that such an event so close to religious places would “definitely anger Allah”.
“We humbly request you to restrain not only yourself from attending such an event but also encourage others to do the same,” it concludes.
The 46 signatories of the pamphlet include office bearers of the Assam State Jamiat Ulama and teachers from various madrassas around the state.

They are objecting to where the show is being held and it clearly says it's a request to people not to attend because of that, when did it turn into pro Isis fatwa
Look at the comments from people on this forum alone willing to make a fool out of themselves just so they can point fingers at Muslims and feel better about themselves
I guess freedom of speech in secular India only implies to one side Muslims can't even breath without being labeled, I strongly recommend Indian Muslims to take this seriously and Take media outlets spreading false news to courts and sue them for every penny they have after ones goes down others will not invent news
