Istanbul - Saba:
The International Union of Muslim Scholars said that confronting the ongoing Israeli aggression against the people of Gaza with weapons and military equipment is a duty for every able Muslim in the Islamic world.
The Union affirmed, in a fatwa issued today, Friday, according to the Palestinian Information Center, that it is an individual obligation (fard ayn) for Muslims, both people and governments, to intervene militarily in Gaza to repel the aggression against its people and provide the resistance with military equipment, military expertise, and intelligence information.
The fatwa stated that the individual obligation to fight the Israeli occupation is first imposed on the people of Palestine, then on neighboring countries (Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon), and then on all Arab and Islamic countries.
The fatwa emphasized that immediate military, economic, and political action is an unavoidable duty for Islamic governments today, after the martyrdom of more than 50,000 people in Gaza, to halt this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate.
It added that it is forbidden to supply the criminal Israeli enemy, regardless of the type of supply, whether by selling it weapons, facilitating their transport through ports or international waterways such as the Suez Canal, Bab al-Mandeb, and the Strait of Hormuz, or by any land, sea, or air means.
The fatwa emphasized the necessity of imposing an air, land, and sea blockade on the occupier in support of the people of Gaza, who are being mercilessly and collectively exterminated before the eyes and ears of the world.
