As Saudi's Grand Mufti Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah Al ash-Sheikh's fatwa (religious edict) saying that “fighting Israel is not permissible” is being criticized, the verses 8-9 of the Surah al-Mumtahanah in the Quran explains the situation clear as crystal: “Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” Mufti's statement, seen as “political rather than religious,” is a reflection of Saudi Arabia's recent steps under the pretext of “moderate Islam."
