Tehran: Iran’s top Shia cleric has issued a ‘fatwa’, ( fatwa) which is a religious decree, against US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In this decree, they have been called “enemies of Allah” and at the same time it has been threatened that the enemies of Allah will be destroyed. The decree of Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi calls on Muslims around the world to unite and destroy the American and Israeli leaders who threaten the leadership of the Islamic Republic.
Will eliminate enemies of Allah
According to Mehr News Agency, Makram said in his order, “Any person or regime that threatens the leader or marja (Allah) is considered a ‘war chieftain’ or ‘mohareb’.” According to a Fox News report, a mohareb is a person who wages war against God and under Iranian law, people identified as mohareb can face the death penalty, crucifixion, amputation or deportation.
What is said in the fatwa
The fatwa states that “any cooperation or support for that enemy by Muslims or Islamic states is haram or forbidden. It is necessary for all Muslims around the world to make these enemies regret their words and mistakes.” It also states that if a “Muslim who performs his Muslim duty suffers hardship or loss in his campaign, he will be rewarded as a warrior in the path of God, if God wishes.” The fatwa further states that those who threaten or attempt to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader will face the wrath of Allah and such an act will be seen not only as an insult to Allah but also as a war against Allah.
