Use of Electric Bulb and Electric Fan is not allowed- Fatwa Ridawiya

During the time of Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Rahmatullah alayh, the running and management of trains in India was under the British control. The British used to stop train as per their convenience and pleasure. Ala Hazrat wrote that Salah performed on a moving train under these conditions and management must be repeated when one gets down from the train.

However, in the present conditions, the running and management of trains is under Indian Railways. The running and stopping of the trains are fixed. The train stops only at its official and schedule stops. ( We are not talking about illegal stops, break downs etc. Stopping the train by pulling chain or activating vacuum break is illegal ) Even if a minister is traveling in a train , he cannot make the train stop as per his convenience. The train stops only at the schedule stops.

This is one example to prove that as far as running of trains in India is concerned, conditions have changed in India. Due to this changed condition and other reasons, the sunni muftis and scholars of India are of the opinion that now salah performed in a moving train need not be repeated. The blog contains many books and articles on this topic.

It is well known to the students of dars e nizami that in matters of fiqh and furu, if the conditions change the rulings also change in some cases. However, the members of the Akhtari cult insist that all the furu and fiqh rulings of fatwa ridawiya must be followed even when the circumstances and conditions have changed. To these cult members we present the following fatwa from Fatwa Ridawiya: Fatwa Ridawiya, Vol. 16, p. 233 to 241:

In answering a question Ala Hazrat Imam Ahmad Raza rahmatullah alayh writes that use of electric fan and electric bulb is not permissible.

This fatwa was issued some 100 years back due to conditions at that time mentioned in the fatwa .Since Akhtari cult members insist that they must follow fatwa ridawiya in every respect, all the Akhtari members should stop using electric bulb and electric fan !!!!

Fatwa on Photography and CCTV Camera- Jamia Amjadiya Razviya, Ghosi

Jamia Amjadiya Razviya/ Rizviya, Ghosi ( India) is a Madarsa under Molvi Zia al Mustafa Ridawi. The Dar al Ifta of this madarsa was asked two questions with regard to photography for supererogatory ( nawafil ) Hajj and visiting those shrines ( mazaar) where CCTV camera is installed. We produce the fatwa for our Akhtari brethern along with a photograph from the shrine of Imam Ahmad Raza Rh showing a CCTV camera installed there. We hope Akhtari brethren won't say that the installed CCTV camera remains off!! The answer given in the fatwa states that getting oneself photograph is haram e zanni and performing nawafil hajj falls under the category of mustahab (recommended), hence one should not perform supererogatory ( nawfil) hajj, if one has to get photographed. Akhtari brethren will say that our pir sahab doesn't get photographed every time he goes for nawafil hajj. He has kept thousands of photographs as a stock and these were taken just once, many years back. In cas

We posted an article on 14 February 2015 regarding an Akhtari cult conference which was scheduled on 1 March 2015. On 13 March 2015 our friend Noori, a mureed of Mufti Akhtar Raza Khan Azhari Ridawi has replied to this article. The original article and Noori’s reply can be read here http://ridawis.blogspot.in/2015/02/akhtari-function-on-1st-march-2015-at.html In this article we will discuss issues related with this conference. Akhtari cult released a poster for this function. We call this poster 1. Here is the poster Out of the many personalities mentioned on this poster we discussed two; namely Muhammad Owais Raza Quadri and Shaikh Mahmood Affandi (Mahmud Effendi) of Turkey in our article. The objections against Shaikh Mahmood Affandi were: 1. He often shares stage with leading deobandi scholars across the globe and accepts awards bestowed by the deobandi scholars. In 2013 deobandis bestowed the annual “Imam Muhammad Qasim Nanotwi Award” to Shaykh Mahmud Effendi.
