19:37Now PlayingIn a groundbreaking move that has reverberated across Gaza and beyond, Dr. Salman al-Dayah, a highly respected Islamic scholar and former dean at the Hamas-affiliated Islamic University of Gaza, issued a fatwa denouncing Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel as an "illegitimate jihad." Dr. Dayah’s detailed six-page ruling criticized the operation, which resulted in over 1,200 Israeli deaths, hundreds of hostages, and a devastating war that killed more than 45,000 Gazans, as a violation of Islamic principles. “Human life is more precious to God than Mecca,” he declared, emphasizing that jihad must meet strict conditions, including avoiding actions likely to provoke disproportionate retaliation and ensuring the safety of civilians. Dr. Dayah accused Hamas of failing in its obligations under Islamic law by using civilians as human shields, neglecting to provide essential resources such as food and medicine, and bringing catastrophic consequences to Gaza's infrastructure and society. He referenced Quranic verses and the Sunnah to argue that jihad must prioritize the protection of lives and honor, asserting, “If the pillars, causes, or conditions of jihad are not met, it must be avoided to prevent destroying people’s lives.” Dr. Dayah called on Hamas leaders to form a government focused on unity and Gazans' welfare, urging them to abandon factionalism and avoid actions that further devastate the population. This bold critique not only undermines Hamas’s religious justifications for its actions but also intensifies internal debates within Palestinian society and the broader Muslim world about the moral and strategic implications of armed conflict.
