On October 21, the  Darul Uloom Deoband  issued a  fatwa  against the women of the Foundation, who had performed an 'aarti' here on October 18, saying they couldn't be considered Muslim. "Those women have done something wrong and they should repent," the fatwa said. Nazneen Ansari , the founder-president of the Foundation, on Oc tober  22 said, "Islam does not allow them (ulemas) to issue any order or impose their views on anyone in religious matters. They can give suggestions or advice in true light of Islam. They have no authority to 'bedakhal' (oust) anyone from Islam. If they continue to issue fatwa on such matters, we will lodge an FIR for violating a 2014 Supreme Court directive." https://www.facebook.com/nazneenbhartiya/videos/1431203...
