150 Mahzarnama Abdus Samad Ghaznevi, an Ahmadi must not be buried in a Muslim graveyard so that: ". . . those resting in their graves may not be tormented by him. . . . " [Isha'at-us-Sunnah, vol. 13, no. 6, p. 10] Qazi Obaidullah Madrasi issued this fatwa that the Ahmadism: ". . . must not be buried in the graveyards of the Muslims— instead, without giving him funeral ablutions and a shroud, dump him in a pit, like a dog. . . . " [ Fatwa , 1893 A. D. , quoted from Fatwa der Takfeer-e-Munkir-e-Urooji-e-Jismi wa Nozool-e-Isa Alaihis Salaam] Similarly, they also issued fataawa that it is not legitimate for any Muslim to give his daughters in marriage to Ahmadis. So, it was recorded in Shara'ee Faisalah that — "If it is factually determined about a person that he is a follower of Qadiani, then staying in marital relationship with him is illegitimate. " [Shara'ee Faisalah, p. 31] Another fatwa which went even further was as under: ". . . . Those who believe in this, they are kaafir and their marriages have, consequently, become annulled: whoever so desires might just take their women in marriage. . . . " [ Fatwa Maulvi Abdullah and Maulvi Abdul Aziz, Ludhiana, quoted in Isha'at-us-Sunnah, vol. 13, p. 5] In other words, forcibly marrying the wives of Ahmadis was quite in keeping with Islam, according to these scholars. In the same vein, another fatwa was issued: ". . . whoever follows him, he too is a kaafir and murtad (apostate), and according to the Shariah the marriage of a murtad becomes annulled and his wife is unlawful (haraam) for him; so whoever has sexual intercourse within forbidden degree he commits fornication. And the children born out of this union would be bastards. " [ Fatwa der Takfeer-e-Munkir-e-Urooj-e- Jismi wa Nozool-e-Hadhrat-e-Isa Alaihis Salaam; published in
