There are repeated requests from inside and outside India that Darul Uloom Deoband should express its view regarding the Rujoo (revocation) of Maulana Muhammad Saad from his comments about the Prophet Musa (peace be upon him).

It is hereby clarified that as far as the Rujoo of Maulana Muhammad Saad from this particular issue (about Prophet Musa) is concerned, it is somewhat satisfactory. However, concerns about the intellectual misguidance set out in Darul Uloom’s position cannot be ignored. Even after many attempts on Rujoo, we have noticed that the said person is still making new controversial statements. The same self-styled Ijtihad, wrong arguments, and incorrect interpretation of Sharia texts on his specific thought about Da’wah are prominent. Due to this, not only the servants of Darul Uloom but also all other scholars of Haqq (righteous scholars) strongly oppose his ideology. 

Those who turn to us in this regard are once again reminded that Darul Uloom Deoband has distanced itself from the internal dispute of Tablighi Jamat and it has declared its impartiality clearly from the beginning. However, whenever people approach Darul Uloom for its views about wrong ideologies and thoughts, Darul Uloom always strives to guide the Ummah considering it its religious duty.
