there was a debate among Muslims over the permissibility of Western English education. The Deobandi scholars permitted the learning of English but with certain conditions. Rashid Ahmad Gangohi, a leading Deobandi scholar, allowed the learning of English on the condition that it does not result in any sinful actions or harm to religion. Another influential scholar, Ashraf Ali Thanwi, issued a fatwa on the topic, acknowledging that while English, like any other language, is not inherently evil, the circumstances surrounding its learning should be taken into account. Thanwi noted that if a Muslim can avoid the potential harms of learning English, such as exposure to non-Islamic sciences or irreligious individuals, and if the intention is to earn a lawful livelihood, then it is permissible. However, if the potential harms outweigh the benefits or if the learning of English is likely to lead to sinful actions or intentions, then it may be prohibited. Ultimately, Thanwi concluded that the permissibility of learning English depends on the situation and circumstances surrounding it.

Backed by over 6,000 Islamic scholars, the Fatwa declared that terrorism is anti-Islamic and that killing of innocent people, regardless of their religion or community, is against the principles of Islam. The Fatwa was issued at a conference attended by thousands of Islamic scholars and was seen as a significant move in the fight against terrorism in India and around the world. The Deoband Fatwa against Terrorism was welcomed as a positive step towards countering the misuse of religion to promote violence and emphasized that the true teachings of Islam advocate peace, compassion, and non-violence. It continues to serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all those who seek to promote peace and understanding between different communities and cultures. Another notable Deobandi fatwa against terrorism, named Fatwa of Peace for Humanity, was issued by Farid Uddin Masood, the chairman of Bangladesh Jamiatul Ulama, a prominent Islamic organization in Bangladesh. Under his leadership, in 2016, over 100,000 Islamic scholars from Bangladesh endorsed a fatwa declaring terrorism as "haram" or forbidden, based on Islamic scripture and tradition. The fatwa emphasized that terrorism was a violation of the fundamental values of Islam and called on Muslims to work towards eradicating it.
