FATWA OR DIVINE DECREE AGAINST GENERAL MUSHARRAF-USA

Q.1) What is the fatwa regarding those who assist or allow the U.S. to carry out military action from Pakistan in order to attack Muslims in Afghanistan?

a) Firstly, the reality is that there is no Muslim land today which constitutes an Islamic State. Many lands belong to Muslims and the people are Muslims but Kufr dominates the law and order in all Muslim countries.

b)The USA is at war with Muslims. They have committed various atrocities against the Muslim Ummah [Nation], ranging from killings, raping our honour and land, mass murders in Iraq, funding and assisting the establishment of Israel, violating the sanctity of Muslims in Iraq and controlling Muslim land, sea and air space. The U.S. is not only targeting the military but also civil areas in the Muslim land of Iraq.

c) The Minimum response from the Muslims must be a complete boycott of all relations with the U.S. but since there is no Dar-al-Islam today, it is no surprise that the current illegitimate rulers over Muslim land are not boycotting such relations. These countries have not even cut any diplomatic relations with the U.S. Islam dictates that all relations with the U.S. must be cut completely and their people must not be allowed to enter Muslim NB. It is easy to boycott relations with the U.S. and to stop the citizens of the U.S. from entering Muslim lands, however, ashamedly the Muftis in Muslim lands, who believe in Allah and his Messenger Muhammad (saw), have allowed the U.S. to come to Muslim lands in order to kill Muslims. These Scholars have become dumb and deaf just as Allah (swt) describes them to us.

d) If Muslims ally with the Kuffar, helping them by supplying them weapons or praising them, formulating or signing contracts for them or allowing them to assist in the military action of killing Muslims in any way, the Muslims so involved would become Murtad Harbi (Apostates) for Allah (swt) warns us against this crime. He says: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be -------- or --------- or their hands and their feet should be --- --- on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement." [EMQ 5:33]. And [for] a Murtad (Apostate) apply to him/her the following:

1) He/She has no sanctity for his life and he must therefore be ------ whether he asks for repentance or not.

2) Any marriage with a wife will become invalid, his children will no longer belong to him and all his blood relations must be cut.

3) His money becomes permissible, which will either go to the Bait-al-Maal (if we have a Khilafah) or it will be taken as booty by the Mujahideen [freedom fighters]. He will receive no inheritance nor will he pass any inheritance to others.

4) His body will not be buried with the Muslims.

5) He will be treated with animosity by all Muslims, just like a Kafir Harbi is treated. No Muslim sister will be allowed to marry him and even people of the book will be stopped from marrying him. Anyone who gives his daughter to him will also become an apostate.

6) There is no distinction between a man or women with respect to this Hukm. Therefore we ask Muslims with the capability, especially the army of Muslim countries, to move quickly and to capture those Apostates and criminals involved in these crimes, especially the ruler of Pakistan [General Pervez Musharraf], King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and Rabbani of Afghanistan and his followers.... We call upon Muslims worldwide to support Muslims in Afghanistan, whoever can support them physically must do so, whoever can support them financially must do so and whoever can support them verbally must do so according to his capacity. As Allah (SWT) commands us in the Quran: "O you who believe! If you help the cause of Allah, He will help you and make firm your feet." [EMQ 47:7].

The U.S. has a dream to take the Indian Subcontinent shared by her friends, namely India and Israel. It seeks to destroy the Islamic thoughts, feelings and emotions in the hearts and minds of the Muslims as well as to destroy the nuclear capability of the Muslims in Pakistan. The potential fate of Muslims against the U.S. is better than Iraq, since the Islamic ideas and feelings are far stronger in Afghanistan and in Pakistan than in Iraq. However, if Muslims all over the world, especially those from Pakistan, do not assist their brothers in Afghanistan, then their fate will be no different from the Muslims in Afghanistan. As for those people who hide the truth and conceal the Haq, Allah (swt) also warns us of them in the Quran: "Surely those who conceal the clear proofs and the guidance that We revealed after We made it clear in the Book for men, these it is whom Allah shall curse, and those who curse shall curse them too. Except those who repent and amend and make manifest the truth, these it is to whom I turn mercifully." [EMQ 2:159-160].

We have indeed a responsibility to inform the Muslim Ummah [Nation] of this Hukm [order], and let Allah (swt) be our witness that we have indeed delivered the message.
