[Trikaduliana]

he Syrian Shaykh, Muhammad Abu’l Huda al Ya’qoubi has issued a fatwa in which he calls the people to uptake arms and volunteer in the Syrian Free Army.

He also appealed to the peoples of Damascus and Aleppo to join the revolution

Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi was a teacher at the Grand Umayyad Mosque. He was removed from his position as preacher and prohibited from teaching as a result of his supporting the revolution from its initiation. After prosecution he was forced to leave the country. Thereafter he issued his famous edict on the programme Shari’a & Life, regarding the overthrowing of the present government.

The following is the text of the edict:

O people of Syria! The government commits new massacres daily in Homs and other besieged cities.

The issue has reached such limits that remaining silent and not taking action has become impermissible.

Due to this, we issue this edict based on the rulings related to helping the weak, forbidding aid to killers and the rights of people to defend their lives, family and wealth.

This edict necessitates the uptake of arms in order to rid these criminals of their killings and save the lives of innocent men, women, children and the elderly in Homs, Zabadani, Ghouta, Deir Al Zour, Lattakia, the rural regions of Aleppo and all the cities of Syria. People have been killed, houses bombed by Braszmat missiles and executions conducted by firing squads.

Hence this edict has been given:

Firstly, it is obligatory upon all the officers and soldiers of the government army to defy their senior commanders. Secondly, it is necessary for the reserves to join the Free Army in order to defend the people and protect their dignities and honour. Additionally, it is not permissible for any one to join the government army. The people must, according to their abilities, provide amenities, support, shelter, and aid to the personnel of the Free Army.

Thirdly, business people and other who are able to do so must collect monetary funds, medicines and food to aid the effected regions. We must also host those who have been displaced in our homes for they are our brothers and honour. Fourthly, the scholars and preachers must call to the revolution and general call to arms during the Friday sermons. Moreover, they must establish the absent funeral prayer for the martyrs.

Fifthly, we call the people of Damascus and Aleppo to join the revolution and descend upon the squares and streets. We urge the rural population to move to the cities in order to start the revolution in them. Sixthly, we urge the staff, politicians and honourable diplomats to leave the criminal government.
