Is it legal to issue fatwas for death in India? Murder is illegal and any contract to get someone murdered is illegal too. Now, if anyone tries to pull this kind of a stunt, then I guess he could be in big legal trouble if this can be proved in the courts that he did offer money to get this cartoonist killed. Hey, Mr. Minister, you could be in a soup if your political enemies feel like using this opportunity... and you too, Qazi... Issuing fatwas that don't exhort people to do illegal things is okay. But asking people to become murderers for money (even if you do it in the name of a fatwa) is a crime.
