Is it permissible for the Palestinians to relinquish a piece of their land in order to save their blood?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : This is the question we were asking there regarding the meetings. This is what is currently being done between the officials of the Palestinian brothers who represent the Palestinian brothers or the Palestinian state, and the Jews. They said that, on the basis of their efforts, they are trying to reach a solution whereby the Jews retain a piece of the land and the Palestinians retain a piece of the land. The Palestinians would have their own self-governance according to the Shari'ah and religion, and the Jews would also have a piece of land where they rule themselves. This would save the Muslims from the oppression, killing, and slaughter they have been suffering for years.
The Shaykh :[At-Tawbah 9:10] First, it is not permissible for Muslims to relinquish an inch of Muslim land. Therefore, this relinquishment is not lawful.
The questioner: Not in accordance with the Shari'ah.
The Shaykh : No matter how the Muslim, non-Muslim, or disbeliever states conspire, the oppressed is not asked about what the oppressor does with him as long as he is unable to repel the harm from himself. But to say to you, "This is from my land, and this is from your land," is a relinquishment of Islamic land by those who do not own it, the non-Muslims. This is not permissible. This would be the case even if the Muslims were confident in the covenants of the disbelievers, especially the Jews...
The questioner : Now, the Muslims in their current situation are being killed and have no value. They are besieged like animals; they are not treated with any...
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : They are stripped of their land because they are stronger than them.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : Because of the Muslims' distance from...
The Shaykh : Because the Muslims are watching them.
The questioner : Exactly what is happening.
The Shaykh : So is this Islam?
The questioner: No, I mean...
The Shaykh : Therefore, may Allah guide you. Because the Muslims are watching, these Muslims are content with handing over the land to the Jews.
The questioner : They are content with handing over the land in exchange for retaining a piece of land where they rule themselves and are saved.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, may Allah guide you, may Allah guide you. You are repeating your words. What is the benefit? Clarify a clear matter, and the answer is clear. What is the benefit of repetition?
The questioner : I mean, if they honored their covenants.
The Shaykh : Do not repeat. May Allah guide you. Do not impose hypotheticals. Are you not a Muslim?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh :[At-Tawbah 9:10] Where do you say this from? If we assume such a thing, how do you assume it? How many times have covenants been issued by the United Nations Council?
The questioner : You are correct.
The Shaykh : Okay, where is the fidelity? What do they call this... number such and such, and number such and such... Yes.
The questioner : Resolutions.
The Shaykh : Resolutions, yes.
The questioner : Resolutions, but regarding Palestine...
The Shaykh : So it is strange that you come and impose "if we assume." What do you impose? As they say in Syria, "He who experiments with the experienced has a corrupted mind." We no longer know who the Jews are, or the Americans. Allah is the Helper.
The Shaykh :
They do not observe toward a believer any pact of kinship or covenant of protection
لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ إِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةًThe questioner: Not in accordance with the Shari'ah.
