Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday approved a summary prohibiting English translation of Islamic terms, a news channel has reported.

The channel said that the government’s move has been appreciated by religious scholars.

Jamia Binoria Karachi head Mufti Naeem told the news channel that the decision is commendable and should be enforced in letter and spirit.
