The purported screenshot is widely circulating on Facebook<\/a>. It also carries the following message for the Hindu community – “\u0938\u092d\u0940 \u0939\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0941\u092d\u093e\u0907\u0913 \u0938\u0947 \u0905\u092a\u0940\u0932 \u0939\u0948, \u0915\u0940\u0938\u0940 \u092e\u0941\u0938\u094d\u0932\u093f\u092e\u0938\u0947 \u0915\u094b\u0908 \u092d\u0940 \u091a\u0940\u091c \u0928 \u0916\u0930\u0940\u0926\u0947, \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0947 \u092c\u091a\u094d\u091a\u094b\u0915\u094b \u092d\u0940 \u0938\u093e\u0935\u0927\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u0930\u0947\u0902.” This translates to – “It is an appeal to all Hindus to not buy things from Muslims. Warn your children as well.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The same post was also shared last year by Facebook page \u2018\u0939\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0942 \u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930 \u0938\u0902\u0918<\/a>\u2019 (Hindu Rashtra Sangh), where it garnered over 800 shares.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several Facebook users<\/a> shared the viral screenshot in 2021.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deceptive post from a fake account<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We looked for @gayur_sheikh on Twitter and found that the handle no longer exists. However, using web.archive.org<\/a>, we found archived versions of dozens of tweets posted by this account. We also found the viral tweet but noticed that it carried a lot of grammatical errors, indicating that it may be fake. There were also a lot of errors in the bio of the account<\/a> as seen in an archived link below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News reached out to Ashraf Usmani, the media in-charge of Darul Uloom Deoband, and inquired about this viral claim. “This fake post has gone viral several times in the past. I have clarified that it is not true on many occasions. We have not issued any such order,” he said.<\/p>\n

Examining other archived tweets of @gayur_sheikh, we discovered that its earlier username was @sekh_gayor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In one of the tweets, a user called the account “fake” and accused its owner of trying to incite a riot. It is noteworthy that the tweets made from this handle date back to the anti-CAA-NRC<\/a> protests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Therefore, social media users shared a fake fatwa attributed to Darul Uloom Deoband. The Twitter handle which posted the original screenshot of the message no longer exists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
