Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on some preachers in the mosques saying at the end of the sermon: “O Allah, hold the Jews and those who make peace with them accountable”? Does this not include the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), since he made peace with the Jews and concluded a truce with them? Is this an overreach in supplication?
Answer:
Yes. The word “make peace with them” means reconciliation. It means reconciliation. And it is permissible to make peace with the Jews if there is benefit for the Muslims. Just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with them in Madinah. And just as he made peace with Quraysh at al-Hudaybiyyah. If peace is in the interest of the Muslims, then the disbelievers are made peace with. They are made peace with for the sake of the Muslims’ interest; this is the truth. As for the word “make peace with them” [referring to the Prophet], it means that the Messenger is included in this. And I previously warned one person about this phrase, but he did not avoid it, may Allah guide him. Yes.
