Life
He wrote books on Islam in Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and announced judgments on several thousand Islamic problems in his compilation of fatawa Fatawa-e-Mustafwia. Thousands of Islamic scholars were counted as his spiritual successors.[4] He was the main leader of the Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa in Bareilly, which opposed the Shuddhi movement to convert Muslims to Hinduism in pre-Partition India.[4][5] It would also act as a quasi-political organisation in opposition to the Deobandi-dominated Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind.[6] Khan participated in one of the All India Sunni Conference meeting.[7]
Khan was known by his followers as Tajdar-e-Ahle Sunnat, Mufti-e-Azam and Mustafavi Miyan.[8][9][10] During the time of emergency in 1977 in India, he issued a fatwa against vasectomy which was made compulsory and 6.2 million Indian men were sterilized in just a year.[10] In such circumstances Mustafa Raza Khan argued this order of Indian government given by Indira Gandhi.[11][12]
