Controversial Cleric Mufti Qavi's Dance Video With Woman Goes Viral

Former Ruet-e-Hilal Committee member and controversial cleric Mufti Abdul Qavi's attempts to dance with a girl were caught on a video that has since gone viral on social media.

In the video, Qavi can be seen trying to copy the dance steps of the woman, but with little success.

Mufti Qavi was one of the suspects in the 2016 murder case of social media personality Qandeel Baloch. The cleric was arrested in 2017 after a court rejected an extension to his pre-arrest bail. The police declared Qavi as a suspect in the case at the request of Qandeel’s father. However, he was granted bail later by a court in Multan.

Qandeel’s selfies with Qavi months before her murder went viral on social media, causing a nationwide rage, after which the cleric’s membership of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and the National Ulema Mushaikh Council was suspended.


In May this year, the controversial cleric had said that any drink containing less than 40% alcohol was Halal in Islam. He said that it was permissible for all the Muslims to consume such drinks.Mufti Qavi during an interview with a digital news outlet said that if tobacco was halal for the clerics then all the drinks of today’s world are halal too for ordinary Muslims. “If any drink with even 100% alcohol is extracted from minerals, it is halal in Islam,” he added.
