Mustafa Raza Khan Qadri (1892–1981) was an Indian Muslim scholar and author, and leader of the Sunni Barelvi movement following the death of its founder, his father Ahmed Raza Khan.[3] He was known as Mufti-Azam-i-Hind to his followers.[4] In a biography compiled by Muhammad Afthab Cassim Razvi he is referred to as Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind.[5]

Life[]

He wrote books on Islam in Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and announced judgments on several thousand Islamic problems in his compilation of fatawa Fatawa-e-Mustafwia. Thousands of Islamic scholars were counted as his spiritual successors.[6] He was the main leader of the Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa in Bareilly, which opposed the Shuddhi movement to convert Muslims to Hinduism in pre-Partition India.[6][7] During the time of emergency in 1977 in India, he issued a fatwa against vasectomy which was made compulsory and 6.2 million Indian men were sterilized in just a year.[8] In such circumstances Mustafa Raza Khan argued this order of Indian government given by Indira Gandhi.[9][10]
