Pro-Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Twitter accounts has launched a campaign against the renowned scholar Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani after he declared in a Fatwa (decree) on Monday that any violent activity against the state of Pakistan is prohibited by Islamic law and is therefore a rebellion and haram.
In a statement, the spokesperson for Jabhat Ansar al-Mahdi Khorasan criticized Mufti Taqi Usmani’s fatwa and claimed that his opinions “had no substance according to Shariah.” The declaration urges Islamic scholars to either back militant causes or remain mute or neutral.

While speaking virtually at the Paigham-e-Pakistan National Conference on Countering Violent Extremism, Radicalism, and Hate Speech hosted by the International Islamic University, Islamabad at its Faisal Masjid Campus in Islamabad he referred to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as rebels.
A Twitter user with a blue verified badge stated that the constitution is British law, but this man calls it Islamic law, and war against it is illegal.
چي اوس به یې شاګردان څه نظر لري؟
شاید دي کې به هم یو حکمت پروت وي
د دی سړی په فتوا مو کلونه خپل جوړ نظامونه چپه کړل.اساسي قانون یې د انګریز قانون ده خو دا ښاغلي یې قانون اسلامي او په وړاندي یې جګړه ناروا بولي.که تقي عثمانې ته تر اسلام دپاکستان ګټي مهمي دي. pic.twitter.com/mlw740KdGA

A pro-TTP account attacked Mufti Usmani in his tweet.
ملاهای درباری یا ساخته شده دست انگلیس
بیس امریکا در پاکستان است هم جنس بازی است کسان که در رس دولت است دزد رهزن و این ملا چی میگوید یا من غلط مشنوم؟ pic.twitter.com/cGYnsDY7vi— Rana Azad (@RanaAza9090) January 23, 2023
Another Twitter account named Mufti Usmani as “Mufti of England”.
د ایساف مفتي …!
د انګلیس مفتي …!
لکه سنګه چي هر هیواد درباري علما لری، او د نظام کفر ته هم اسلام وایی، نو نن تش په نوم شيخ الاسلام(شیخ الانګلیس) د کفر قانون او نظام ته اسلامي وايي.
و من اظلم ممن افتری علی الله کذبا …!
مثال :
اسلام کي د هلک له هلک سره واده روا دی؟ pic.twitter.com/uAZp45jRVM— Muslim (@unity_of_ummah) January 24, 2023
A social media user said that the missing version of the constitution of the Islamic system was found and according to Taqi Usmani the constitution of Pakistan is a law equal to Sharia.

د اسلامي نظام د اساسي قانون ورکه نسخه پیدا شوه، تقي عثماني صیب وايې چې د پاکستان اساسي قانون په شریعت برابر قانون دی.
عثمانی صيب: د پاکستان په څیر دستور (اساسي قانون) په هیڅ هیواد کې نشته، پاکستان نظام پرضد جکړه مطلقاً حرامه ده.
بس!!
موږ يې باید ژر له خیره کاپي کړو🤗 pic.twitter.com/mkezfAt7PB— Faiz Zaland (@zalandfaizm) January 23, 2023
The social media accounts of the TTP are severely criticizing Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani saying that he could not utter a single word against atrocities. According to analysts this could be a serious threat to the security of Mufti Usmani and needs to be addressed.
