LAHORE: Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed has completely endorsed the fatwa issued by scholars against terrorism.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, he said, “Joint fatwa of countrywide scholars would help to end terrorism. Killing of Muslims by applying fatwa of infidels is discord rather than Jihad. Only the state can declare the war against the enemy. Scholars from all schools of thoughts have complete consensus on this issue.”
He said that ‘Fitna Takfeer’ (mischief charging of infidelity) and externality have damaged Muslim community severely. JuD firstly condemned suicide bombings, and launched a countrywide campaign against this issue, he added.
“Due to Fitna Takfeer, the character of Muslims has been damaged badly and sectarian massacre has grown,” Hafiz Saeed said.
Terming unanimous fatwa named “Paigham-e-Pakistan” an important necessity of time, he urged scholars to guide Muslim Ummah by keeping in mind modern issues and mischiefs.
He said that Paigham-e-Pakistan supports what he has stood for, adding that whole nation is familiar with the role of JuD and its efforts against Fitna Takfeer.
“JuD is against all kinds of terrorism, torture and killings of Muslims by applying fatwa of the infidel. Unanimous fatwa of scholars of all class of thoughts is propitious and voice of the whole nation,” he added.
