The
Palestinian issue
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What is the way to proceed regarding the Palestinian issue,
which has, as the days pass, escalated in terms of complexity
and violence?
Response:
Certainly, the Muslim(s) feel much pain and great sadness
at the deteriorating situation in Palestine, with matters
going from bad to worse, escalating in complexity as the days
pass, such that it has reached where it has (today). This
is due to the differing (occurring) between the neighbouring
countries, and their lack of united resistance against their
enemy, and (likewise) their lack of adherence to the Sharee'ah
which Allaah has linked to victory (and success). (This is
also in addition to) the enemy vowing to oppose (the Palestinians)
and remain upon the (Palestinians') land. And this entails
great danger and adverse consequences.
The
neighbouring countries need to rush to unite in their resistance
(against the enemy) and adhere to the Sharee'ah
in confronting this issue, which concerns them and all of
the Muslim world.
And
that which is worth mentioning here, is that the Palestinian
issue is an Islaamic issue from the beginning (right through)
to the end. However, the enemies of Islaam have strived immensely
to distance it (this issue) from the Islaamic path and convey
to the non-Arab Muslims that this is an Arab issue, and that
it does not concern the non-Arabs. It appears they have succeeded
in this to a certain extent. This is why I feel it is not
possible to reach a solution regarding this issue unless it
is deemed an Islaamic issue, and the Muslims support one another
in salvation, and make jihaad
against the Jews in an Islaamic manner, until such time the
land (of the Palestinians) is returned to its (rightful Palestinian)
owners. (In addition to) the trespassing Jews returning to
their (own) lands where they came from, thereby leaving the
true Jews to remain in their lands under the rule of Islaam,
and not communism and nor secularism. Thereby, truth shall
prevail and falsehood will be abandoned, and all rightful
owners shall return to their lands under Islaamic rule, and
not under any other (rule).
And
Allaah is the Expounder of Success.

PLEASE
NOTE: Terrorism
is haraam
in Islaam, and this fatwa
does not in any way or form imply it's permissibility
or acceptance. Rather, it provides a qualified Islaamic legal
ruling to oppose those who have caused oppression by occupying
Palestinian land.
