Gaza's most prominent Islamic scholar has issued a rare and powerful fatwa condemning the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which triggered the devastating war in the Palestinian territory, reports the BBC.
Professor Salman al-Dayah, former Dean of the Faculty of Sharia and Law at the Islamic University of Gaza, is one of the region's most respected religious authorities, so his legal opinion carries considerable weight among Gaza's two million inhabitants.
The fatwa was published on the professor's Facebook page on Thursday, in six successive posts.
