We must also keep in mind that if the state is Islamic, then it is up to the government to implement and enforce the fatwa. And if the state is not Islamic, then it is not the responsibility of the Mufti to implement the Shariah penal code. Mr. Mufti can only give Shariah decision. The responsibility for implementation lies with the state and the government. In Bangladesh, some uneducated or semi-educated people have shown ignorance by committing one or two isolated incidents of execution of adultery, while the blame has been laid on the Mufti and the Alem community. It is not desirable at all. 2232925218
