May 18, 2020 01:31 PM


An old video clip of renonwed Islamic scholar Mufti Tariq Masood has been circulating on social media platforms in which he said 'watching dramas and movies is haram' and people are linking that old clip with drama serial #ErtugrulGhazi.

The Islamic scholar released a clarification video in which he said: "I have never spoken about drama Ertugrul, that is an old video and it was about the adult and immoral content. Ertugrul is a drama which is about the history of Islamic heroes and Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan has a vision behind the revival of Muslim history."
