- In India, “[r]esidents of Kumarsanda village in West Bengal’s Rampurhat sub-division claimed that a ‘fatwa banning music and band parties’ during any marriage or celebration was issued by ‘senior people’ at the local madrasa last Saturday. The residents claimed that the ‘fatwa’ also bans alcohol, gambling and ‘ganja’. It was allegedly circulated via social media apps like WhatsApp. It reportedly carried a warning saying that if any of the residents ‘do not follow the fatwa,’ they would have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000, and their families would be shunned and denied access to the masjid.”
