Sheikh Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara’s debate with some clerics has been fixed for Saturday, Kano state commissioner for religious affairs, Professor Muhammad Tahar Adamu, has said on Thursday.
The commissioner disclosed this during an interview with BBC Hausa Service.
He said invitation letters have been dispatched to the scholars who will take part in the debate.
Some clerics have accused Abduljabbar of making derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions – allegations he severally denied. He instead appealed to the state government to organise a debate between him and the clerics after his mosque and schools were closed down on February 4.
The scholar later sought to debate with the scholars who have been challenging his mode of preaching.
His appeal was granted by the state government but the debate was cancelled less than 48 hours to the initial scheduled period.
