Fatwa issued against foreign Muslims visiting Temple Mount

A fatwa has been issued against foreign Muslims visiting the Temple Mount so long as it remains in the hands of the 'Zionist occupation.'

Dr. Maher al-Huli, head of the fatwa department in the PSA [Palestine Scholars Association], said that non-Palestinian Muslims should refrain from visiting the Al-Aksa Mosque “while it remains captive by the state of the Jews.”

He said in a fatwa that Muslims were instead entrusted by God with “liberating and saving the mosque from the Jewish usurpers and restoring it to the glory of Muslims.”

The fatwa came in response to reports that pilgrims from some Islamic countries have recently been visiting the Temple Mount as part of tourist trips.

According to Huli, “refusing to visit the Aksa Mosque while it is under occupation means rejecting Zionist sovereignty over the holy site and combating normalization with the Zionist enemy.”

He said that Muslims need to be taught that Jerusalem is an Islamic city that can’t be handed over to others. He also called for teaching Muslims about the need to wage jihad in order “to liberate the mosque and lands from the usurpers.”
