Nora Fatehi continues to face backlash over her song ‘’Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke'' from the Kannada film KD: The Devil. A fatwa has now been issued against the actress over the controversial song, which has been criticised for its sexist lyrics and objectionable choreography.
Featuring Fatehi, the song is sung by Mangli, written by Raqueeb Alam, and the film’s music is composed by Arjun Janya.
Fatwa issued against Nora Fatehi over the song
On Friday (March 20), it was learned that a fatwa, a formal legal notice issued by an Islamic scholar under Sharia law, had been issued against the actress. The fatwa has been issued by a religious body of Aligarh, the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta. Speaking to ANI, the body stated that the song contains content that is ‘objectionable and against Islamic teachings’.
Chief Mufti Maulana Ebrahim Hussain, who issued the fatwa, has found the visuals of the song vulgar and explicit. In a statement to India Today, the cleric said that the explicit and vulgar visuals in the song make it objectionable under Islamic teachings as he called the content haram and a gunah-e-kabira (grave sin).
