His son, Yusuf Jamil, also confirmed the development on Twitter.

A day earlier, Tariq Jamil was admitted to a hospital after suffering from a heart attack in Canada.

Yusuf said his father's condition had improved now and requested the nation to pray for the scholar’s health.

"Today at 1:00 PM Pakistan time, around 3:00 AM in Canada, my father suffered from heart issues and complained of chest pain. After that, he was immediately shifted to the hospital. All of his (medical) procedures have thankfully been completed successfully," he said in a video message posted to the scholar's official YouTube page.

"Right now, he is completely fine and stable, but still in the hospital. The fact that we (his family) are here and he is away from home is worrisome for us. We request you all to pray for his health," he added.

Maulana Tariq Jamil’s son also asked social media users to refrain from spreading rumours regarding his father's health.
