Saudi Grand Mufti Condemns Hamas Actions as a Disgrace
The Grand Mufti unequivocally condemned the violence in Gaza as a blasphemy against Islam, directly contradicting Hamas’s actions and claims to represent the faith. He reiterated Islam’s inherent respect for all life, contrasting it sharply with Hamas’s violent extremism. This condemnation builds upon previous fatwas denouncing Hamas and other groups as terrorist organizations, highlighting a consistent rejection of violence in the name of religion. Al-Sheikh’s pronouncements offer a crucial counter-narrative to extremist interpretations of Islam, promoting peace and rejecting terrorism. His stance represents a significant contribution to the global effort against extremism.
