Azerbaijan, Baku, March 22 / Trend R. Khafizogli /
Principal purpose of Islam is to protect people but not to separate permitted things from forbidden ones, Jasir al-Avda, famous British scientist on Islam told Trend .
Despite statements of some people, Islam does not contradict to the present, he said. "Many people consider that islam as religion contradicts the present and scientific progress. It is absolutely wrong approach. Islam has always supported scientific progress and development," al-Avda said.
British scientist on islam also told about the Fetva. "When the Fetva is expressed in one or another issue, one should not forget about realities. It is also wrong, when a scientist living in one country expresses the Fetva regarding issues in other country," he said.
