Quote:Radiyah did u come accross any fatwa that say no. Because I think I hears some scholars said blowing up themselves is not permissible.NO, sister Muslimah, I did not come across any that says no, but I will keep searching
and any new fatwa I will find I will by will of Allah post it here Insha'Allah.
Quote:As regards your question, the late Azharite scholar and the head of the Sunni Egyptian Institutions in Egypt, Sheikh Fu'ad Mukhaymar, states the following:I think this is clear that it is halal. But to fortify it I will search for others, and personally I asked the scholar Whom I attend his lessons and he is an Azharite scholar, he said it is halal, he is defending his land with his body, and that the jews are occupants of his land by force, and he has no other way to defend except his body. And even another lady azharete scholar said the same, and she is always calling them shuhada'. But still Insha'Allah I will look for more.
\"The view adopted by the majority of our contemporary Muslim scholars, describing as martyrs the Palestinians who blow themselves up in the occupied land in showing resistance against the aggression, is correct for the following reasons:
A person who blows himself up sacrifices his life for the survival of others. He dies for his homeland and his holy sites.
So I hope that those who make fatwas, from their own wether muslims or non muslims will stop saying that those martyrs ar terrorists, with scholars making fatwa, then we cannot say anything else.
