Letter to Ibn Baz regarding the invalidity of his fatwah about peace treaties with the Jews.

By: Usaamah bin Laadin [haafidhahullah]

To the noble scholar ibn Baz,

As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu,

We Praise Allah, Who revealed the Book of explanatory verses, and [He] elevated the ranks of those who possess [divinely revealed] knowledge, and He [the Most High] took from them a pledge to openly proclaim the Truth and explain it, and He [the Most High] warned them from cheating /duping [people] with it and withholding it [from them].

And we send the Prayers and the Salaams upon the Messenger of Allah, our Leader who informed us that, “The most virtuous Jihaad, is to speak the Word of Truth in the presence of a tyrannical ruler.” (Saheeh Musnad Ahmad).

To proceed,

Indeed, from those matters which are well known to you, is the Love of Allah for the people of knowledge and their high status and noble position. And this is not surprising, for indeed the Scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, who inherit the [knowledge of] the Deen from them, and with this knowledge they repel the distortions of the extremists, and the false accusations of those who go beyond the bounds, and the false interpretations of the ignorant, and the dilutions of the oppressive wasters of wealth. They [the Scholars] should be good leaders and good examples for the Ummah to follow, and a cause of the advancement of the Ummah, they [should] give victory to the Truth and direct the creation towards it.

The trustworthy Scholars of the Salaf of the Ummah and the later generations, were the most excellent in establishing this task, [for example] the stance taken by Sa'eed ibn Jubayr who openly proclaimed the truth, in the face of the tyranny of al Hajjaaj [ibn Yusuf ath-thaqafee], and the trials of Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, by way of the tyrannical rulers and deputies and his patience upon being put to trial [due to them forcing the Scholars to say that] the Qur'aan is something created, and also the suffering of Ibn Taymiyyah, who spent the best part of his life in prison due to his [extensive efforts] in giving victory to the Prophetic Sunnah.

These are examples of the obligation [upon the Scholars] to aid and assist the Truth and it's people, and these erudite Imaams gave victory to the Truth, and had jealousy for the Deen, may Allah have mercy upon them all.

Noble Shaykh,

By mentioning the above examples, we intend to remind you of your obligations towards the Deen, and towards the Ummah, and to admonish you with regards to your tremendous responsibility, as indeed “ the reminder benefits the faithful....”

[To be continued bi'ithnillah

We wanted to remind you, at a time when falsehood is puffed up [to make it look true..!], and where deviants present their false arguments, and the Truth has been slaughtered, and those who called to it are in the prisons, and the righteous are silenced.

And the strangest matter of all is, that this has not occurred due to you not having knowledge of these affairs, or due to your silence about them, but rather this has occurred as a result [of the implementation] of your fatawah and stances.

We will mention to you, noble Shaykh, some of these fatawah and stances, of which you may not have realised the consequences of them, and which could cause the Ummah to be astray for 70 autumns [years], so that you may realise along with us, the harm of these dangerous affairs, and their evil/negative effects.

Here are some examples for you:

1.

It is not a secret from anyone the overwhelming level of corruption [in Saudi Arabia] which reaches every aspect of life, where there are so many different evils they are no longer hidden from anyone, just as [has been mentioned in] the previous [open letter of] sincere advice from some of the Scholars and callers to reform. And from the most serious matters that they explained therein, is making associates with Allah in matters of legislation, and legislating man made laws whereby, the prohibited matters [haraam] become permissible [halaal].

From the worst of these affairs, is the widespread trading in ribaa [interest] in this country, and they are regulated by state organisations and state banks of ribaa, and the offices of these ribaa banks are taller than the minarets of the two Sacred Mosques, to the extant that these ribaa banks have spread across the length and breadth of this country.

It is well known by necessity that these institutions of ribaa and the legislations which regulate it's trade, have all been certified and approved by the ruling regime, and [yet] with all of this, we do not hear anything coming from you, except that you state to trade in ribaa is prohibited and impermissible. This [apparent] indifference from your statement is [in reality] deceiving the people, [due to] you not differentiating between the ruling on trading in ribaa only, and the ruling on legislating laws regulating [the trade] in it.

The huge difference between the two is very clear. Trading in ribaa is a sin from the major sins, whereas the one who legislates laws for the trade of usury becomes an apostate disbeliever, who has committed the type of disbelief that expels a person from the religion due his action of competing with Allah and placing himself as an associate and partner with Allah, by his making things legally permissible [halaal] or legally impermissible [haraam], and we have already explained the details of this in another paper, to be published soon, insha'Allah.

Also, the one who trades in ribaa and persists upon that, has been given a notice of being at war with Allah and His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi was salama [“ Then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger....” Al Baqarah 279]. And [yet],we hear from you statements of overwhelming praise for this regime which does not just permit the trade of ribaa, but rather they legislate laws for it's trade, and regulate it's trade, and make it legally permissible [to trade it].

to be continued bi'ithnillah

The economic and political crisis's, entanglements and hindrances that the country is being plunged into, and the various different crimes that are widespread, are nothing other than a punishment from Allah, and a portion of the War that Allah the Exalted has declared upon those who persist in trading in interest and other similar matters from the major sins, as Allah has decreed that He will annihilate ribaa, “Allah will destroy interest, and Allah gives increase for charity.” [Al-Baqarah:278]

2.

And when [King Fahad] hung the cross [given to him by the Queen of England] on his chest, the 'global' leader was happy and delighted to openly wear it. You gave a fatwah permitting him [and the Muslims] to do that, [

] and permitting this is something repulsive and hideous. Despite it being clearly obvious that such an action is [clear] disbelief, it is apparent from Fahad's actions that he was pleased [to wear that cross] and knowingly chose to wear it.

3.

During the [first] gulf war, when the armies of the coalition of jewish and christian crusaders decided, in complicity with this [Saudi] regime, to invade Kuwait in the name of “liberating” it, you passed an irresponsible fatwah justifying their heinous actions which insulted the dignity of the Ummah and smeared it's honour, and denigrated it's sanctities, arguing that their aid was required by way of necessity, [whilst] neglecting the principles/stipulations and regulations [of the noble shari'ah] in seeking such aid and assistance.

4.

And during the Saudi regimes support of the apostate communist leaders in Yemen's aggression against the Muslims of Yemen in the recent war, you were silent!

Then, when these communists were placed into leadership, upon the instigation of this regime you give a “naseehah”, in which you invited everyone to reconciliation and cordiality by classifying them as Muslims, and giving the erroneous impression that communists are Muslims and that their blood is preserved, so are the communists now [classified as] Muslims..?

Did you not previously give a fatwah that the communists are apostates and it is an obligation to fight them in Afghanistan..?, or it there a difference between the communists in Yemen and the communists in Afghanistan..? So how did you lose your understanding in the issues of aqeedah[creed], and the principles of Tawheed [Islamic Monotheism] and confuse them to this extent..?

And this ruling regime still harbours these leaders of disbelief in many of the cities of this country, yet we do not hear any disapproval about this from you, and yet the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa salama, said, “ Allah has cursed the one who accommodates an innovator.” [Saheeh Muslim]

5.

And when the oppressive regime decided to transgress Shaykh Salman al Awdah and Shaykh Safar al Hawaali, who called to the Truth and suffered harms in the path of Allah, you issued edicts which, by way of them, allowed whoever conflicted with [the two shaykhs] to oppress them and maltreat the two Shaykhs and those who were with them from the other Scholars and Callers and youth of the Ummah...May Allah free them and protect them from the oppression of the oppressors.
