On Sunday evening, 200 Mauritanian scholars and imams issued a fatwa prohibiting normalization with Israel. The relationship with “the usurping entity of the land of Palestine and the occupier of Jerusalem and its environs is forbidden and is not permissible in any way.”
The signatories of the fatwa affirmed in a seminar that they organized this evening at the Al-Tawfiq Mosque in Nouakchott.
The scholars and imams concluded that normalization is forbidden and one of the greatest prohibitions, considering that the reality of normalization is loyalty, materialism, and alliance with the enemy and cooperating with him in various fields against Islam and Muslims.
The scholars called on the government of their country to abide by what it had previously announced that it did not intend to normalize relations with Israel.
The most prominent signatory to the fatwa is the scholar Sheikh Muhammad al-Hassan Ould al-Daddo, who is affiliated with the Islamic trend, head of the Scholars Training Center in Mauritania, and other scholars.
It is noteworthy that Mauritania severed its relations with Israel in 2009 during the war on Gaza, and Israeli and American press sources revealed that Mauritania and Indonesia intend to join the path of normalization after the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.
