Shaykh Jibreen clarifies his
position regarding the fatwa attributed to
him...
Earlier today, Fatwa-Online was
informed by Maajid al-'Alee
that:
Shaykh 'Abdullaah ibn
Jibreen, previously a member of
the Council of Senior Scholars
said: "Indeed that which took
place a few weeks ago in the hijacking of
the airplanes and crashing them into the
buildings is impermissible, and we reject
it and distance ourselves from such
acts."
The
Shaykh went on to advise: "that we
(need to) return to Allaah and rule in
accordance with His Law (Sharee'ah)"
for indeed that is "the means to
attain honour and
firmness".
The
Shaykh went on to advise the Muslim youth:
"that their actions must be based upon
considering the good and evil consequences
as established in the Sharee'ah, and
that they refer to the position of the
scholars such that they do not instigate
any harmful effects upon the
Muslims".
The
Shaykh also mentioned that the explosions
which caused the destruction of the
buildings in America "are probably the
cause for the stagnation in the (acceptance
of) Islaamic da'wah and the
distorted view of Islaam in many
countries".
Regarding the fatwa in which the Shaykh
calls for the assistance of Taalibaan, the
ruling party in Afghanistan, with one's
wealth and property, and in person, then
the Shaykh explained: "This (fatwa)
was issued last Safar" and
that no new fatwa
has been issued by him after the attacks
which occurred in Washington and New York
in September.
The
Shaykh finished off by calling upon the
Muslims to reflect upon the suffering of
their Muslim brethren in Palestine and
Afghanistan where "their land has been
split up and they are prevented from
entering neighbouring territory by
neighbouring states, instead sufficing with
life in dishevelled refugee camps where
they experience much hunger, difficulties
and cold and where illness and death
threaten them".
