An Old Video
Can you please provide the reference about the information of Ashraf Ali sahab taking the fatwa back ? I did not know that.
To best of my memory the whole incident is narrated by Abdul Majid Daryabadi in his book Hakeemul Ummat Naqoosh o Tasuraat. It is available on line. But difficult to sift through to find the reference. However it is confirmed that Thanawi sahib reversed his fatwa.
