Fatwa #137412 April 2001Pakistan

are we allowed to attack synagouges as the jews are destroying our mosques in israel?

Answer

As a general rule, it is not always appropriate to issue general rulings to specific matters.

Specific matters must be answered contextually. Therefore, it is not permissible to destroy every and any synagogue as a retaliation for the destruction of a specific mosque.
