We ask the Shaykh to offer advice to the youth regarding the issue of making peace with the Jews (in Palestine).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The truth is, this Muslim youth, my lord, did not come except that they love the methodology you follow, may Allah reward you with good. We would like you, may Allah reward you with good, to advise us and clarify to us, by the scale of the Shari'ah, the issue of peace and reconciliation with the Jews in our current time. Especially since the Arab regimes and Arab governments have all colluded in the international peace conference with the Jews and colluded in this matter after the great catastrophe in the issue of Iraq and Kuwait and the Gulf issue. We want to see the scale of the Shari'ah through the Book and the Sunnah and the biography of the righteous Salaf and the path of the righteous Salaf, may Allah reward you with good. And the truth is that I sat with all the Islamic groups as individuals, and they are all in agreement that it is not permissible to make peace or reconciliation with the Jews. Some of the ministers, even those who entered the Jordanian government from among the Muslims, or some of the deputies, say that even if we were hanged on the gallows, we would not sign a peace with Israel, or a peace with Israel, or a reconciliation with the Children of Zion. So, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Perhaps you are asking, or it seems you are asking, about an unknown matter, since you say that all Muslims, and praise be to Allah, are in agreement that making peace with the Jews is not permissible. So what is the benefit of such a question? For it will be said: "And nothing is valid in the minds of people if the day needs a proof."
If there is no one here, and not even outside this place, by the testimony of your own words, who says that it is permissible to make peace with the Jews, then perhaps you were asking about something that is obscure to some of the attendees. But how so, when the matter is not obscure to any of the attendees, nor to any of the absentees? It is well known that it is obligatory for the Muslims, meaning the rulers of the Muslims, to fight them. But unfortunately, the rulers of the Muslims are colluding with the enemies of the Muslims. So what ruling do you want clarified? We ask Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to reform our rulers and our deputies who walk with our rulers under the claim of reform, but they have forgotten the saying of the one who said:
"Sa'd drove them in, and Sa'd was wrapped up. This is not, O Sa'd, how camels are driven in."
Did you think, when the Muslims entered the parliament, that they would agree to the National Charter? Did you think so? Why do you not speak? No one thought so. And now the decision has passed, and it has gone, and tomorrow it will also be executed: peace in the name of the parliament. And glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You.
