Fatwa Against Vijay: Fatwa issued against actor-politician Vijay, allegation- invited drunkards and gamblers to Iftar party

Tamil superstar and Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Thalapathy Vijay is once again embroiled in controversy. A Sunni Muslim organization in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh has issued a fatwa against him. Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, national president of the All India Muslim Jamaat and chief mufti of Chashme Darul Ifta, has accused Vijay of being anti-Muslim.

Maulana made serious allegations.

Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi said in the fatwa that Vijay has insulted the Muslim community through his films and the recent Iftar event. He referred to Vijay's 2022 film 'Beast', which allegedly linked the Muslim community with terrorism and extremism. Maulana said, "Vijay showed Muslims as 'demons' and 'devils' in his films. Now to enter politics, he is showing love towards the Muslim community, which is just a strategy to get votes." Questions raised on Iftar party

Apart from this, the Maulana criticized the Iftar party organized by Vijay at the YMCA Ground in Chennai on March 8. He alleged that the event was attended by 'drunkards and gamblers', who were neither fasting nor following Islamic rules. The Maulana called it a violation of the sanctity of Ramzan and appealed to the Muslim community of Tamil Nadu to distance themselves from Vijay.
