Haniyeh: The resistance informed the mediators that it would not give up its demands

The head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas,” Ismail Haniyeh, called for an Arab position and collective action to exploit this strategic opportunity provided by the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle.  He urges to mobilize the Arab situation in confronting the fascist Zionist enemy, embrace and participate with the Palestinian people in their resistance, and confront the policy of normalization.

And here the Israeli entity is losing global public opinion, as the intellectual terrorism it practices through the so-called anti-Semitic laws has failed to contain the global public support for the rights of the Palestinian people.

Haniyeh directed his message to those talking about the day after the battle, saying that they will be suffocated by the rope of their illusions, and that they will not find among our people anyone who would accept an alternative to resistance. The aspirations of those lurking in the resistance and the Mujahideen will be disappointed, their illusions will vanish, and they will not see the light as long as our people and our nation remain immortal.

Regarding what is said about a new Zionist position on the exchange and ceasefire deal, the movement’s leader confirmed that the resistance once again informed the mediators that the established rules of the resistance factions’ position cannot be waived. Hamas's demands are summarized in stopping the permanent aggression, the comprehensive withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza, lifting the siege, reconstruction, and an honorable prisoner exchange deal. All of this is on the path to achieving the rights and aspirations of our Palestinian people for freedom, return and independence.

 Kuwaiti scholars caution against uninformed fatwas, stress Sharia compliance.

To issue a fatwa is a precise task and a great responsibility, requiring extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of Islamic law. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, warned against negligence in this matter by saying: “The most daring of you to issue a fatwa will be the most daring of you to go to Hell.” This warning indicates that daring to issue a fatwa without sufficient knowledge will lead to its doer. To dire consequences.

In our current era, some people notice the spread of fatwas from people who lack the necessary qualifications, as some have begun to give themselves the right to issue fatwas simply because they have memorized some Qur’anic verses or have a superficial knowledge of the Prophet’s Sunnah. This situation raises important questions about the extent of these people’s qualifications to issue fatwas and the impact this has on people. the society.

In this context, we will present the opinions of some Sharia scholars who explain the conditions and controls that must be met by a mufti, and the importance of referring to specialized scholars to avoid unqualified fatwas that may mislead people and harm them.

At first, Dr. Ajeel Al-Nashmi, former dean of the College of Sharia, member of the International Islamic Jurisprudence Academy and the Islamic Jurisprudence Academy, told “Society”: Whoever leaves the fatwa to everyone who has a superficial knowledge of the Sharia sciences, stressing the need for the mufti to be qualified and recognized for his righteousness, and to have extensive experience in the Sharia sciences, He is able to analyze the legal evidence and know what is more likely than not, with a good understanding of the reality in which the questions are being asked.

Dr. explained. Al-Nashmi said that fatwas are divided into two types: The first: individual fatwas related to issues of what is permissible and what is forbidden in family and marital relations. These are sufficient for the muftis in each country, as disagreement is accepted and the opinions of the local muftis are sufficient.

Second: Complex contemporary issues such as medical, economic, and banking issues. These require two types of fatwa authorities: The first: Fatwa bodies in specialized institutions, especially economic ones, and the second: Comprehensive jurisprudence academies that bring together multiple opinions on the same topic to enrich the discussion and come up with a unified opinion that is agreed upon by the majority. The participants in these academies must be scholars well-established in knowledge without external influence on them. Whether political or otherwise, the Islamic Jurisprudence Academy was considered a successful example in this regard.

Dr. confirmed. Al-Nashmi is the seriousness of the fatwa matter, as it is related to revealing the ruling of Sharia law in new facts or calamities. Therefore, the unqualified or those with superficial knowledge of Sharia sciences cannot address this matter; Because whoever performs deduction must be familiar with its tools and how to use them to extract judgments from detailed evidence. That is, from the Holy Quran and the hadiths of the Prophet.

For his part, Dr. said: Khaled Al-Madhkour, Chairman of the Fatwa Committee at the Ministry of Endowments: Islam warns against following the opinions of those who are not scientifically qualified. Because they mislead the people and mislead themselves, as the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said: “God does not seize knowledge by seizing it from the servants, but He seizes knowledge by seizing the scholars, until, when He does not leave a scholar, the people take ignorant people as their heads, and they are asked and give fatwas without knowledge, with merit And they went astray.” Whoever issues a fatwa without knowledge will result in the loss of lives, money, and honor. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Whoever issues a fatwa without knowledge, it is as if he was slaughtered without a knife.”

Dr. noted. The aforementioned pointed out that scholars and preachers must, when faced with fatwas that cause confusion and strife, refer to the official jurisprudence councils or approved fatwa committees, because they bear responsibility for the fatwa if it is wrong, and he warned of the danger of issuing fatwas without knowledge, stressing that this leads to serious problems, The ignorant mufti must be legally prohibited so that he does not influence people due to his weak opinion or ignorance.

Dr. confirmed. It is mentioned that issuing a fatwa is not an easy task, and that scholars who are aware of its danger avoid it out of piety and fear of bad consequences. He explained that the jurists have set general conditions for whoever undertakes to issue a fatwa, including that he be knowledgeable of the principles of jurisprudence, conversant with the jurisprudence of other scholars and their evidence, knowledgeable of the abrogated and abrogated, the correct and preferred, and proficient in the rules of the language. Arabic grammar, morphology, and rhetoric.

Dr. called. The aforementioned points to the importance of collective ijtihad and staying away from individual ijtihad as much as possible, especially in vital issues that concern the nation. These issues must be studied by a large number of jurists and scholars to issue a collective fatwa on them, because collective ijtihad combines several characteristics that are not available in individual ijtihad. Many research papers are written and subjected to long discussions, and some opinions may prevail as a result of these discussions. Then decisions and recommendations are issued based on what scholars have reached, which makes them strong, coordinated, and sensitive to the interest of the Islamic nation.

‏Union of Kuwait Charity Organizations condemns tent incineration in Rafah.

 ‏Union of Kuwait Charity Organizations has strongly condemned the Tents Holocaust, a brutal massacre committed by the Zionist occupation army in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. The massacre resulted in the martyrdom of 40 civilians and the wounding of 65 others with varying injuries. The head of the Union, Saad Marzouq Al-Otaibi, emphasized the importance of opening crossings for the flow of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of civilians and provide them with basic needs such as food, water, and medicine.

Al-Otaibi called on the humanitarian and international community to take responsibility and put pressure to stop the "Israeli" aggression completely. He also stressed the need to provide a decent life for civilians in the Gaza Strip, who suffer from the ongoing siege and repeated attacks. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has deepened due to the continued occupation of the Rafah crossing and its closure to the entry of aid trucks.
