Cleric who called Shami sinner for not fasting says his daughter playing Holi ‘against Shariat’

BAREILLY (UP): A cleric who had claimed cricketer Mohd Shami committed a sin by not fasting during Ramzan has described the Holi celebrations of the pacer’s daughter as “illegal” and “against Shariat”.

In a video released late on Saturday, All India Muslim Jamaat president Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi said, “She is a small girl … If she plays Holi without understanding (it), then it is not a crime.”

“If she is sensible and still plays Holi, then it will be considered against Shariat,” he added. PTI
