Earlier today, Fatwa-Online was informed that:
The deadly attacks in the United States are a “terrible crime” which Islaam does not accept and no one should applaud them, the head of Saudi Arabia’s Islaamic judiciary said in comments published Friday.
“Killing a person who has not committed a crime is one of the major sins and terrible crimes… What happened in America is… undoubtedly a grave criminal act which Islaam does not approve of and no one should applaud,” Shaykh Saalih al-Luhaydaan mentioned.
al-Luhaydaan, who is also a member of the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia, said Islaam strictly forbids bloodletting and does not condone the killing of innocent people, especially in a collective manner.
Several Islaamic groups and organisations have condemned Tuesday’s attacks in New York and Washington, describing them as a “horrible and hideous act.”
Saudi Arabia, home to Islaam’s holiest sites, has condemned the jetliner suicide bombings and offered to help in the hunt for the perpetrators.
