Fatwa Issued Against Aamir Khan Over Marriage to Gauri Spratt Citing Islamic Teachings
Aamir Khan married Gauri Spratt under the Special Marriage Act on July 5. Maulana Ibrahim Hussain, Shahi Chief Mufti of the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta, issued a fatwa objecting to the marriage, stating that Islamic teachings prohibit a Muslim man from marrying a non-Muslim woman unless she converts to Islam. He described such marriages as against Sharia and warned they could harm the image of Islam. This has sparked renewed debate on faith and interfaith marriages.
