Yes KFC has got a Fatwa. Fatwas have been making headlines for quite some time, be it a diktat barring women from watching football or a ruling that says marriages of couples having sex naked will be nullified and women should not wear shorts so on and so forth. Even the Tennis player Sania from TS was also threatened by way of a Fatwa.
Recently fatwas have been issued against online sensation Pokemon Go, and now there’s a new one against fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
The fatwa, issued by the senior mufti of Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat in Bareily, says that it’s a sin to eat at KFC since the chicken served there isn’t halal.
The spokesperson mufti Saleem Noori added that although the fatwa is particularly about KFC, it also applies to other non-vegetarian food outlets in India.
“Some people have approached me with complaints against KFC Bareilly for not selling halal meat and thus it is forbidden to consume it according to Islam.
It is for the food lovers to decide if they should follow the so called Fatwa or not. But the KFC people say that the meat used is halal one and there is no issue and that Muslims can eat that with out any inhibitions.
