REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Until now, Israel is still waging genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. In fact, the Zionist brutality extends to neighboring countries, including Lebanon. The
Indonesian Ulema Assembly (MUI) called on Muslims to remain solidly in support of the Palestinian independence struggle. That support can be realized through the boycott movement of Israeli products and all those affiliated.
MUI has issued Fatwa Number 83 of 2023 on the Law of Support to the Palestinian Struggle. In it, the large umbrella of Islamic community organizations (ormas) prohibits attitudes in favor of Israeli aggression. Muslims are also prohibited from supporting parties that help Israel, either directly or not .
The following is the opinion of scholars on the illegality of converging or interacting with parties fighting Muslims, quoted from the quotation in FATWA MUI Number 83 of 2023:
First, the opinion of Imam Nawawi in Sharah Shahih Muslim 11/40:
When the Muslim community is allowed to trade in the United States of America, it is not possible to carry out the sanctions we will be able to carry out our sanctions against the people of the United States.
“All Muslims have observed or agreed on the necessity of dealing with the Zimmah and other infidels as long as it does not fall within the forbidden. But Muslims must not sell weapons to the enemies of Islam who are fighting Islam, nor should they help them in upholding their religion.”
Second, the opinion of Sayyid 'Abdur Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Husayn ibn 'Umar Ba 'Alawi al-Hadhrami in the book of Bughyatul Mustarshidin/ 260:
There is also a suspicion of a crime in Haram Kalharir al-Muhamal, Vanhu al-Anab al-Laskar, Waleh al-Amal al-Mukhadr al-Muhamal al-Mukhadr al-Muḥammad ...
“If he thinks that he is using it for cruelty, such as silk for adults, wine for drunkenness, slaves for immorality, weapons for robbery and cruelty, opium, cannabis and nutmeg for narcotics, then all that is forbidden.”
Third, the opinion of Sayyid Ramadan al-Buthi in his fatwas:
Yajebu Wojjuba A'Inneya Muqatha'a al-Aghaʻa Yizha, Ehah Hoa Aljhaad al-Ati Yatthassanna Lekole Moslem i al-Qiaamo Baha Phi Muwayajaah al-Udwan al-Isra Aeeli (with Al-Nas Mishwarat and Fatawi Llshikh al-Shahid al-Duktu Sa'id Ramadan al-Buti p 52)
“It is imperative to boycott American and Israeli food and commercial products, as this includes jihad which is easy for any Islamic person to face aggression from Israel.”
Fourth, the opinion of Ibn al-Hajj al-Fasy al-Maliki in the book of Al-Madhal (11/78):
Wala Ba'asa Aan Yansseba Alyahudo Waalnāsārā Lānāsārā Lānfūsām Vālēl Dīnhām Mājzārārā 'Alī Hadhād Vayonhaouna Aan Yabayova Mena El-Moslemina Vayonha Al-Moslemonna Anh Yashtarova Menehom Almadkhl Leben El-Hadj Al-Fassi al-Maliki al-Mutafi: 12 >= 737 p 78 dar al-fakr
“It is not a problem for Jews and Christians to set up (an economy) for their own and for those who associate with it as a form of murder separately, and it is not a problem to forbid them to sell to Muslims and to prohibit Muslims from buying their products.”
