Maulana Abdul Aziz expels Mufti Abdul Qavi at gunpoint from Jamia Hafsa.
In a surprising turn of events, Mufti Abdul Qavi was forcefully removed from the Jamia Hafsa in Islamabad by Lal Masjid’s head cleric, Maulana Abdul Aziz.
The incident, captured in a video that quickly went viral on social media, has triggered widespread public reaction.
The footage shows Mufti Abdul Qavi seated in an office at Jamia Hafsa with a group of local scholars when Maulana Abdul Aziz storms in, visibly agitated and armed with a firearm.
Without any formal exchange, he aggressively commands Mufti Qavi to vacate the premises immediately, warning, “Otherwise, I will shoot you.”

Startled and visibly shaken, Mufti Qavi quickly gets up and exits the room. Throughout the video, Maulana Aziz can be heard using harsh language and making severe accusations.
Allegations of adultery
He called Mufti Abdul Qavi a “tyrant, drunkard, and adulterer” and even goes as far as to declare that the Muslim Ummah should boycott him entirely.
He further asserts that Qavi deserves corporal punishment, including flogging and stoning, for his alleged behaviour.
Mixed reactions from public
The incident has drawn divided opinions online.
Some viewers have strongly criticised Maulana Aziz for displaying violent behavior and threatening someone at gunpoint, deeming it a dangerous precedent of vigilante justice.
Others, however, expressed support for his actions, citing frustration with controversial religious figures like Mufti Qavi.
Abdul Qawi is an Islamic cleric and controversial personality from Multan, Punjab, Pakistan.
He joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political party in 2013 but was later expelled from the party. He is a former president of religious affairs of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party in Punjab
It’s not the first time that Mufti Qavi is hitting the headlines. In January 2021, TikToker Hareem Shah claimed that she and her cousin beat up Mufti Abdul Qawi over ‘dirty’, ‘vulgar’ conversation and for “physically harassing” them.”
The title of ‘Mufti’ was later withdrawn from Abdul Qawi after this incident by his uncle Maulana Abdul Wahid
