The Didsbury Mosque has responded publicly against what it called a right-wing backlash against the job ad for a Shariah Law Administrator that appeared on the government job portal.

The advert, which was later withdrawn, sparked accusations that it promoted a parallel legal system incompatible with British law.

The DWP was subsequently criticised by Reform UK and Conservative MPs for hosting the advertisement on the Find A Job website. The role required the applicant to 'provide all admin and secretarial work' for the Manchester Shariah Council, according to the description, for a salary of £23,500 per year.
