In present times we see and observe a fraction of so called Ulama’s who even does not know the ethics of Islam and Islamic jurisprudence, they are destroying the ethical base of Islam.

Also people should boycott these types of unethical debates and should be vigilant from such elements that destroy the image of this community.”
