According to them, the Mufti\u2019s recent remarks were not only lacking in mutual agreement but also risked sowing discord and unrest within the broader Muslim community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe neither endorse nor accept this one-sided and fabricated statement. Rather, we strongly reject it,\u201d the statement by the Shia scholars read. They reaffirmed their commitment to the shared stance on respecting religious sanctities, including those of both Shia and Sunni traditions, the Ahl al-Bayt, and the esteemed companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leaders emphasized that during the earlier council meeting, it was unanimously agreed that while theological and jurisprudential diversity exists within the Muslim Ummah, such differences should never lead to division or disrespect. They cited edicts from top Shia religious authorities, including Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei and Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani, who have explicitly prohibited any derogatory speech against Sunni sacred figures, especially the Rightly Guided Caliphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br class=\"Apple-interchange-newline\" \/>They also expressed concern over the Grand Mufti\u2019s alleged endorsement of a historically controversial figure, stating they do not support such claims. The scholars concluded by underlining the importance of centuries-old inter-sect harmony in Kashmir, stating that promoting mutual respect and unity remains a shared religious and moral duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny attempt to harm this unity will be firmly resisted,\u201d the statement affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F\" class=\"jeg_btn-facebook expanded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Shia%20Leaders%20Reject%20Kashmir%20Grand%20Mufti%E2%80%99s%20Statement&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F\" class=\"jeg_btn-twitter expanded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=Shia%20Leaders%20Reject%20Kashmir%20Grand%20Mufti%E2%80%99s%20Statement%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F\" class=\"jeg_btn-whatsapp expanded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F&amp;title=Shia%20Leaders%20Reject%20Kashmir%20Grand%20Mufti%E2%80%99s%20Statement\" class=\"jeg_btn-linkedin expanded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.me\/share\/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F&amp;text=Shia%20Leaders%20Reject%20Kashmir%20Grand%20Mufti%E2%80%99s%20Statement\" class=\"jeg_btn-telegram expanded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Shia%20Leaders%20Reject%20Kashmir%20Grand%20Mufti%E2%80%99s%20Statement&amp;body=https%3A%2F%2Fkashmirobserver.net%2F2025%2F07%2F15%2Fshia-leaders-reject-kashmir-grand-muftis-statement%2F\" class=\"jeg_btn-email expanded\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Prominent Shia religious leaders have rejected the statement made by Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam during a press conference&nbsp;on Tuesday, calling it unilateral and lacking consensus.&nbsp; In a joint rebuttal, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, Agha Syed Muhammad Hadi Al-Moosvi, and\u00a0Maulana\u00a0Masroor Abbas Ansari criticized the Grand Mufti for deviating from the collective stance agreed upon during a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jammu-kashmir"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4110"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4111,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4110\/revisions\/4111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noukeqalamnews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
