Muzaffarnagar, July 2: An Islamic organization in Muzaffarnagar has issued a fatwa saying that conversion of a woman to Islam for the purpose of getting married with someone in the faith is illegal and against the Shariat law.

The fatwa was issued in response to a question posed before the Darululoom Deoband asking whether the conversion of a non-Muslim woman for getting married into Islam was justified.

The Deputy-in-charge of the organisation's fatwa department organisation, Mufti Ahsan Kasmi said conversion to Islam must be in good faith and not for getting something.

President of the Uttar Pradesh Imam Organisation, Mufti Zulfikar, has also come out in support of the fatwa.
