The Ruling on the War Between Iraq and Iran
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask for a response to this question. The people are confused about the ongoing war between Iraq and Iran. Who is in the right? Who is at peace?
Answer:
The war between Iraq and Iran is a wicked war, and a war that is not of the benefit of Islam, nor is it of the concern of Islam. It is a war involving the following of desires, and fighting in which Allah knows best about it. These are the Ba'athists, and these are the Rafidah. There is no power and no strength. So it is all evil, all evil. But we ask Allah to decree what is best for the Muslims. Yes. He will destroy falsehood and its people. O Allah, amen. May He write for the Muslims in it prayer. O Allah. We ask Allah to write for the Muslims what is in their well-being and good, and to write for them in the year what is in their good and well-being.
If there is good for the Muslims in the end of this war, then Allah will bring it about for the good of the Muslims. And if there is benefit for the Muslims in its continuation until some of them destroy the people of evil, and until the Ba'ath and the Rafidah are destroyed, then Allah decrees what is most beneficial. Yes. O Allah, amen.
