Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 817/1115=H/1429)

The scriptures are abrogated as per their rulings and the Quran is ?musaddiq? of them as per their truthfulness i.e. the Holy Quran confirms the previous heavenly scriptures that all the original books were revealed by Allah and were right. The commandments which Islam has abolished will not be acted upon; therefore now whatever the religion of Islam says will be followed.
