Aamir Khan Faces Fatwa Over Marriage to Gauri Spratt; UP Cleric Objects to Interfaith Union

Actor Aamir Khan has found himself at the centre of a fresh controversy after a Uttar Pradesh cleric objected to his marriage with Gauri Spratt and reportedly issued a fatwa, claiming that the interfaith union is not permissible under Sharia.

The development comes days after Aamir Khan and Gauri Spratt tied the knot in a private registered marriage ceremony on July 5, 2026. Neither the actor nor his representatives have responded publicly to the remarks.

According to reports, Shahi Chief Mufti Maulana Chaudhary Ifrahim Hussain of the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta criticised Aamir Khan's marriage, stating that a Muslim man cannot marry a woman belonging to a non-Islamic faith under Sharia.
