Cleric criticises Sara Ali Khan for praying at Kedarnath

Sara Ali Khan visited Kedarnath and offered prayers on October 25.

The temple is a Hindu shrine in Uttarakhand, and the actor has visited it regularly for several years.

Uttar Pradesh cleric Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi criticised the visit, saying worshipping according to another religion was not permitted under Sharia.

He urged Khan to seek forgiveness from Allah.

A fatwa is a religious opinion on Islamic law, not a government ruling.

Khan has faced criticism over earlier visits, and her 2018 film Kedarnath also drew opposition from right-wing groups in Uttarakhand.

Her team submitted the affidavit required of non-Hindu visitors who wish to pray at the shrine; no further action is stated.
