Fatwa #336530 June 2001United States of America

What is your opinion of Sheikh Abdullah Faisal who is currently in London, UK (www.islamicjihad.com). And Sheikh Salman al-Awdah and Sheikh Safar al-Hawaali?

Question

And what is your view on governments like Saudi Arabia which imprisoned these two scholars, and thousands more, who speak the truth and call towards implementing Shariah? Jazakallahu khair.

Answer

It is not possible for us to comment on the persons in reference as we do
not know them.

However, if the government of Saudia Arabia punishes innocent people, they
will be guilty of committing a crime of oppression which is a major sin.
