Unity Between Shia and Sunni on Syed Ali Khamenei’s Fatwa
Ayatollah Khamenei: Insulting Sunni Dignitaries Unlawful
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei recently issued a religious decree condemning any insult to Sunni Muslims dignitaries. The leader’s fatwa, issued on Oct. 3, was highly welcomed by the Muslim world and drew the attention of the most prestigious religious centers, including Cairo’s Al-Azhar University.
“Desecrating the religious dignitaries of Sunni brothers, including accusations to the wife of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is haram (unlawful),” Ayatollah Khamenei was quoted as saying by Taghrib News Agency (TNA). The remarks made by Iran’s leader came in response to a question posed by Saudi clerics regarding a fatwa released by Kuwaiti Shiite cleric, Sheikh Yasser Al-Habib, considered offensive to Ayesha (RA). In a disciplinary measure, the Kuwaiti Cabinet announced its opposition to the sacrilege and annulled Habib’s citizenship.
Chancellor of al-Azhar University of Islamic sciences welcomed Fatwa (verdict) issued by the World Shia Leader, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, which bans any insult to the companions of Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.) as well as his wives
Such insults have always been a source of controversy and dispute between Shia and Sunni Muslims and barred them from forging a robust unity against their common enemies, unlike a multitude of commonalities between the two sects.
Ahmad al-Tayyib wrote in a statement that the fatwa was prudent and timely and would help ram the door shut to seditions.
“I received the blessed Fatwa with appreciation,” he wrote.
He said it was incumbent on all Muslims to try to keep inter Muslim unity and no dispute between different Islamic sects should be allowed to harm the unity of Islamic ummah.
Tayyib also noted that Egypt has ever been at the forefront of every initiative for Muslim unity.
Western media have kept mum on the Fatwa.
