Bareilly, June 22 (PTI) An Islamic seminary has issued a fatwa against Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly making comments against Islam even as Muslim religious leaders distanced themselves from the decree, calling it "unnecessary" as the actor has offered his clarification.

"A person making a remark like the one attributed to Shah Rukh is a Kafir (non-beliver) and is struck out of Islam," said the fatwa issued by Mufti Mohammed Shoeb Raza Qadri and Mufti Muti-ur-Rehman of Darul-uloom-Mazhar-e-Islam.

In an Islamic state the person who makes such comments is liable to be killed, it said.

His nikaah (marriage) also stands nullified, it said, adding that if the person making such statements dies as a "Kafir", then he must not be buried in a Muslim graveyard.

The person making such a remark must offer an immediate apology to return to Islam, the fatwa said.
