154 Mahzarnama 1. You be the judge: should we pray behind the Deobandis about whom the fatwa (not of Ahmadis but) of the top-ranking non-Ahmadi religious scholars holds the following: "Wahhabis - Deobandis are decisively murtad (apostate) and kaafir (disbeliever) on account of profaning and blaspheming, in their writings, all the saints and Prophets, including even the Chief of the Earlier ones and the Latter ones sa , and particularly for doing the same to God, the Exalted and Glorious. Their apostacy has degenerated to such a great, great, great degree of utmost kufr (disbelief) that if someone were to even slightly doubt the apostacy and disbelief of these apostates and disbelievers, then he himself qualifies as an apostate and a disbeliever—and a person who has a doubt about the consequent disbelief of the said doubter, such a one, too, will become an apostate and a disbeliever. The Muslims will be well-advised to completely avoid them and abstain from associating with them altogether. There is obviously no question of praying behind them, you must not even let them pray behind you, nor must you allow them to enter your mosques. Do not eat any meat from an animal slaughtered by them; do not participate socially in their festivities or mourning occasions; do not allow them to visit you; do not visit them to enquire about their health if they fall sick; do not participate in committing their dead bodies to the burial ground, in the event of their death; do not give them any space in the graveyards of Muslims. In other words, you must completely avoid and shun them. . . . "So the Wahhabis - Deobandis are great, great murtad and kaafir of the utmost degree, such that if one does not call them kaafir such a one shall himself turn into a kaafir—his wife will no longer remain in valid marriage with him and the children born of this union, if any, shall be deemed illegitimate and disqualified from being the beneficiaries of inheritance in accordance with the Shariah. . . .
