His answer, in his own words
1:23:06
maulana, agla sawal lahore pakistan se hai, miss salma ka. unhon ne likha hai: "main dawat ka kaam mardon mein bhi karti hoon aur auraton mein bhi karti hoon. mujhe muslim ulma kehte hain ke aap dawat mein dawat ka kaam auraton mein kijiye aur mardon mein dawat mardon ko karne dijiye. maulana sahib, kya yeh baat sahi hai?" sahi nahi hai. yeh jhooti baat hai. jhoot ke sawal kam se kam lafz is ke liye jhooti baat hai. aap un ki parwah mat kijiye. araz kijiye. arzal jahileen ka tareeqa ikhtiyar kijiye. na khud karein, karne dein. na un se jhagda kijiye.

un se behas kijiye. koi bhi is se asar bhi mat lijiye aap. bas apna kaam peaceful tareeqay se karti rahiye. ab apna kaam peaceful tareeqay se karte rahen. yeh ulma ka haal kya hai, dekhiye batata hoon misaal aap ko. in ulma ne jhoote fatwe de rakhe hain. yeh fatwa diya unhon ne ke quran yeh daur jab aaya ke printing press ka zamana ke quran ki tarjume chhappe jayen mukhtalif zabanon mein to ulma ne fatwa diya. pehle to tha ke quran ki tarjuma hi nahi kar sakte aap. shah waliullah ne tarjuma kiya farsi zaban mein quran ka, un par hamle kiye gaye. yani pehle to tarjuma hi karna ke khilaf thay yeh ulma.

tarjuma aap nahi kar sakte quran majeed ka. to khair is ke baad doosre darje mein yeh maan liya ke tarjuma agar aap karte hain to matan ke sath chhapiye, text ke sath. ab sawal yeh hai ke hum ko dena hai ghair muslimon ko to doosra fatwa aa gaya ke aap text ke sath dein ge to behurmati karein ge is se, ab nahi de sakte aap. to agar baghair text ke chhapein aap, tab bhi najayaz. kyun ke text shamil karna zaroori hai. aur text ke sath shamil karein, tab bhi najayaz. kyun ke text ke sath dein ge aap to woh behurmati hogi.
1:25:15
yani fatwon ki parwah karne ki zaroorat hai. yeh sab jhoote fatwe hain, main saaf kehta hoon. yeh jhoote fatwe hain ke kuch bhi parwah mat kijiye. aap Allah ki parwah kijiye sirf. Allah ke zariye aur Allah ke hukum ke mutabiq khamoshi se kaam karti rahiye. maulana, agla sawal bhi pakistan se hai, aamir bin yusuf sahib ka. unhon ne likha hai: "kisi bhi firqa ki masjid ya madrasa ko chanda dena firqa wariyat ko support karna hai ya nahi?
