Fact check: Salaf statement backed settlement of non-Muslims in Maldives
A fact-check report examining whether Jamiyyathul Salaf backed the settlement of non-Muslims in the Maldives, after the group and its president denied an Adhadhu news report on X. The article compares the denial with Salaf's original statement on the Rasmalé project, which allows foreigners 99-year property leases and describes large numbers of foreigners of different faiths staying long-term, and which sets conditions for how such zones should be legally framed.
