Ulema divided over ‘hello’
Reported in Jinnah,
a majority of the clerics in Pakistan decided to support the fatwa of the clerics of Saudi Arabia that saying hello over the telephone was forbidden because hello contained the word hell which the West had invented to make Muslims send each other to hell. But Jamia Naeemia, whose leader was killed by the Taliban, stood firm by its opinion that hello was simply a way of attracting attention and had nothing to do with hell. Most maulanas however thought that saying salam-o-alaikam was better for Muslims.
You fools, it is a simple statement of fact hello ie hell is low.
