Islamic Scholars Issue Fatwa Mandating Military, Financial, and Armed Support for Palestinian Resistance Amid Gaza Genocide
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The International Union of Muslim Scholars has issued a fatwa in response to the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. The ruling calls for immediate military intervention by Muslim nations, economic sanctions against Israel, and increased support for the Palestinian resistance.
The fatwa declares that armed struggle against the Israeli occupation is a religious duty for all capable Muslims worldwide. It urges Arab and Muslim governments to take immediate military action to stop the systematic genocide of Palestinians. Scholars demand a full blockade on Israel by land, sea, and air, including closing off major waterways and airspaces in the Muslim world.
Supporting the Palestinian resistance through military aid, financial contributions, and diplomatic backing is emphasized as a religious obligation. The fatwa also calls for the formation of a unified Islamic military alliance to defend the Muslim world and deter foreign aggression.
All forms of normalization with Israel, including diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties, are declared forbidden. The fatwa also prohibits supplying Israel with oil, gas, or any resources that could support its war effort. Muslim nations with existing peace treaties with Israel are urged to reconsider these agreements in light of ongoing genocide.
Muslims worldwide are encouraged to engage in financial jihad by donating to Gaza and ensuring humanitarian aid reaches those in need. The fatwa also calls on Muslim communities in the United States to pressure the Trump administration to fulfill its promises to stop Israeli genocide and work toward peace.
The scholars condemn Israel for violating the ceasefire and accuse the U.S. government of enabling the attacks by providing advanced weaponry. They state that over 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since the genocide began and criticize the silence of Arab and Muslim governments as a betrayal of their religious duty.
The fatwa urges a global boycott of Israeli products and businesses that support the occupation. It calls for diplomatic pressure, including the withdrawal of ambassadors and imposing political sanctions on Israel and its allies.
Muslims are reminded that supporting Gaza through financial aid, protests, and advocacy is a religious duty. The fatwa calls on religious leaders to speak out against Israeli actions and push governments to take stronger measures. The statement concludes with a call for continued prayers, unity among Muslims, and appreciation for individuals and organizations worldwide that stand with Palestine.
