More than 500 British Muslim religious leaders and scholars have issued a fatwa in response to the London bombs.

The religious decree expresses condolences to the families of the victims of the atrocity and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.

It states Islam condemns the use of violence and the destruction of innocent lives and says suicide bombings are "vehemently prohibited".

The fatwa was issued by the British Muslim Forum (BMF) outside Parliament.
