Whenever there in the county, question raised over Muslim Personal Laws, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind opposed it tooth and nail. In the 1980s, there existed a real danger of the government proceeding towards a ‘uniform civil code’ under the directions of the Supreme Court. This was despite the fact that such a step would amount to a grave interference in the religious affairs of the Muslims, which was deemed unacceptable in Islam. To protest against the move, the Jamiat declared 5 December 1986 as Save Shariah Day and followed it up with the ‘Convention Against Uniform Civil Code’ two days later. Ulama across the country were asked to speak to people to apprise them of the dangers of having such a code.

Like in the past, Following the Supreme Court order in 2017 to outlaw the practice of instant triple talaq, the Jamiat issued a press statement expressing deep concern over the verdict which it deemed to be against the shariah. Being the largest Muslim organization in the country, the Jamiat has been party to the hearings on triple talaq in the Supreme Court. Recently, with the central government seeking to pass legislation making triple talaq a punishable offence, the Jamiat has unequivocally termed it against the Spirit of the Constitution.
