Use of inhaler can break Roza

Burhanpur, MP, Apr 7 (UNI) Intake of glucose through saline or medicine through vaccine by Muslim patients would not amount to breaking 'Roza (fast)' but the use of inhaler by an asthma patient would be treated as breaking of 'Roza'.

The decision was taken by the Islamic Sikha Academy of India (ISAI) at its three-day 17th convention here today. The decision would be applicable on Muslim followers.

ISAI general secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rehmani told reporters that the academy takes decisions in matters pertaining to disputes over issues among Muslim followers. The decision was taken in this view.

About 400 muftis and several Muslim intellectuals besides representatives from Iraq and Iran took part in the convention.

Mr Rehmani supported the view of the Madhya Pradesh government of not providing sex education.

He said terrorism had no place in Islam but the reason behind it should be found.

Mr Rehmani refused to comment on the arrest of activists of banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) saying he does not know them.
