Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to call the state of the Jews the State of Israel?
Answer:
No. Those who established it, we say the state of the Jews; we do not say Israel, because Israel is the Prophet of Allah, Ya'qub (peace be upon him). This state is not the state of Ya'qub (peace be upon him); rather, it is the state of Satan. That is, it is not the state of Ya'qub (peace be upon him). Allah honored Ya'qub (peace be upon him) above this vile, cursed state. Yes.
