Imran N. Hosein

[9] He led the Jumu'ah prayers and delivered the sermon at the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan once a month for ten years.

[10] Sheikh Hosein opposes fiat currency, describing it as 'bogus, fraudulent, Haram and an amazingly dangerous instrument of oppression and universal slavery' although based on the Islamic principle of necessity he states that 'we are permitted to use it until such time as we can escape from its poisonous, deadly and sinful embrace'.

He proposes that fiat currency be removed 'through the creation of micro-markets which use only Sunnah money and which are a part of remotely-located Muslim Villages.

'[11] Ebrahim Desai, who ran the website Askimam, claimed Hosein has deviant positions, such as rejecting certain authentic hadiths and diverting from the consensus opinion.

[12] A second fatwa by the same scholar said that due to his views some hadiths of Sahih al-Bukhari are fabricated and Gog and Magog have already been released.
