Mufti said: "Going to Garba is forbidden for Muslim youth: Avoid going even with friends; be aware of your religious identity and traditions."

Bhopal's Mufti Mohammad Gufran Khan Nadvi has termed the participation of Muslim youths in the Garba celebrations during Navratri as haram. On Wednesday night, he released a video on social media stating that it is not permissible for Muslim youths to participate in the religious festivals or rituals of other communities.
