Islamic scholars in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch have now issued a fatwa against playing music, DJs and beating drums during marriage functions. The announcement was made in Mankote, with clerics warning that Nikah or Namaz-e-janaza would not be performed if any family played music during weddings.
In an interview with a media channel, BJP leader Yudhvir Sethi explained why the party would not issue a fatwa to guarantee that the children of Jammu and Kashmir drop firearms and take up computers,’ obtain an education and earn well. He questioned why they have an issue with folks who work as DJs and earn a living. This issue has caused several disputes and brought numerous concerns about the valley’s various challenges.

Immediately, Islamic authorities stated that if the groom requested dowry from the bride’s family, the wedding festivities would also be restricted, including playing music or using fireworks during the wedding ceremony.
