Hyderabad: A Hyderabad-based Islamic seminary has issued a fatwa against a song in the upcoming Malayalam film "Oru Adaar Love", saying the government should have it removed as it hurts the religious sentiments of Muslims.
The song, 'Manikya Malaraya Poovi', featuring Priya Prakash Varrier, has gone viral on social media.
After some local Muslims raised questions over the song, Jamia Nizamia issued the fatwa yesterday.
"Some residents of Farooq Nagar, in an application to the seminary, raised questions about the song, saying its lyrics hurt the sentiments of Muslims," he said.
According to the fatwa, if the allegation is true, the government should have the song removed, the official said.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Falaknuma division) Syed Fayaz had told PTI that police would seek the opinion of Islamic clerics while investigating the complaint.
