Malaysian Islamic Party Supports IUMS Fatwa for Jihad against Israel
Abdul Hadi bin Awang, in a letter to the IUMS leadership, stressed that the Fatwa in defense of Palestine represents a renewal of hope in the hearts of Muslims and helps to revive a sense of pride and dignity in the Islamic Ummah.
It reflects the growing awareness in the Muslim world of the importance of unity and concerted efforts to confront the abuses and injustices faced by the people of the Gaza Strip and the rest of the Islamic Ummah, he stated.
He called on the Islamic Ummah to fulfill its religious duty to defend the Palestinians with all its might.
Earlier this month, the Ijtihad and Fatwa Committee of the IUMS stressed that waging Jihad against the Zionist regime that continues its genocide against the people of Gaza is Wajib (obligatory).
Ali al-Qaradaghi, the secretary general of the union, called on all Muslim countries on Friday “to intervene immediately militarily, economically and politically to stop this genocide and comprehensive destruction, in accordance with their mandate”.
“The failure of the Arab and Islamic governments to support Gaza while it is being destroyed is considered by Islamic law to be a major crime against our oppressed brothers in Gaza,” he said in the decree comprising some 15 points.
“It is forbidden to support the infidel enemy [Israel] in its extermination of the Muslims in Gaza, regardless of the type of support,” Qaradaghi said.

“It is forbidden to sell weapons to it, or to facilitate its transport through ports or international waterways such as the Suez Canal, Bab al-Mandab, the Strait of Hormuz, or any other land, sea, or air means.
“The Committee [IUMS] issues a fatwa requiring an air, land, and sea blockade of the occupying enemy in support of our brothers in Gaza,” he added.
