Friday, 26 December 2008 - 28 Thul-Hijjah 1429 H ISLAM ‘Tracking down terrorists is a great Jihad’ By Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan
Q – We are a group of police officers and we would like to direct a question to you since we have been entrusted in this country with investigating those who are out to disturb the peace or disobey and reject obedience to the leader of the country.
And we have heard of a religious verdict stating that it is impermissible to track these people down and fight them because they are “Mujahideen” (people waging religious Jihad), and because they want to expel the disbelievers from our land who fight Muslims in other countries such as Iraq.
ARTICLE SNIPPET from the link in post no. 1:
“This question was answered by the Sheikh verbally and the audio clip can be found at:
http://www.fatwa1.com/anti-erhab/Irhabion/Irhabion.html. This particular audio clip is no. 22 in the list. Translated by Abu Az-Zubayr Harrison.”
PING!
This makes amazing reading. Be sure to read the entire attachment.
This is an AMAZING article, Cindy. If we can take it at face value, then...!
It is interesting, but I’ve heard this kind of thing before; HOWEVER, when I come across something like this, I do post it - fwiw.
