What is the ruling on Muslims rejoicing in Iraq's victory over the Americans?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if there is someone in whose heart, I mean, a person wishes for Iraq's victory over America, over the misguidance of Iraq's rulers, is there anything wrong with this from a legal perspective? I find this within myself internally.
The Shaykh : No, no, let me understand what you did not understand.
The questioner : What did I not understand, our master?
The Shaykh : Listen, what you did not understand, why did you not understand?
The questioner : Why? Because the hallmark of Iraq is Muslims, meaning they say, "There is no god but Allah."
The Shaykh : Good, how so?
Al-Halabi : Attached to the straw... attached to it is also one... .
The Shaykh : And the audience laughed.
The questioner : The believers rejoiced in the victory of the People of the Book.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The believers, the Companions, the Romans were defeated, I think this is even more so.
The Shaykh : I think if it was with this intention, you have received the answer.
The questioner : Certainly, I have received the answer, there is nothing wrong, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The Shaykh : No, no, let me understand what you did not understand.
