Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei recently issued a religious decree condemning any insult to Sunni dignitaries.
The leaders fatwa, issued on Oct. 3, was highly welcomed by the Muslim world and drew the attention of the most prestigious religious centers, including Alzahra University in Egypt.
Desecrating the religious dignitaries of Sunni brothers, including accusations to the wife of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is haram (unlawful), Ayatollah Khamenei was quoted as saying by Taghrib News Agency (TNA).
The remarks made by Irans leader came in response to a question posed by Saudi clerics regarding a fatwa released by Kuwaiti Shiite cleric, Sheikh Yasser Al-Habib, considered offensive to Ayesha.
In a disciplinary measure, the Kuwaiti Cabinet announced its opposition to the sacrilege and annulled Habibs citizenship.
Praise From Egypt, Lebanon
The chancellor of Al-Azhar University of Islamic Sciences has welcomed the leaders fatwa prohibiting any insult to the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his wives.
Ahmad Al-Tayyib said in a statement issued on Sunday that the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khamenei was prudent and timely, and would help prevent any attempt to sow discord among Muslims.
I received the blessed fatwa with appreciation. Such insults have always been a source of controversy and disputes between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, and prevented them from forging a dynamic unity against common enemies, Tayyib said.
The western media have not given the fatwa wide coverage, but the Egyptian people and the North African countrys media outlets have welcomed the brave move by Irans leader.
Ayatollah Khamenei recently said western powers are trying to widen differences between Sunnis and Shiites to divert attention from the crisis in Palestine.
The enemies of Islam want to create discord among Muslims. So, unity is the most important need of the Islamic world in the 21st century, he said.
Lebanon Sunni scholars also praised Ayatollah Khameneis fatwa.
TNA said Ayatollah Khameneis fatwa can help forge unity among Muslims.
Lebanon religious Scholar Malek Alshoara welcomed the fatwa and said, Muslims have to maintain unity and endeavor to resolve all differences among themselves.
Beit-ul-Moqaddas prayer leader, Sheikh Maher Hamoud, called the fatwa an opportunity for enhancing unity among Muslims.
Resistant Workers Party in Lebanon also appreciated the fatwa and said this fatwa has illustrated the fathomless relations among all Islamic sects.
The party also emphasized the necessity of publicizing this fatwa among Muslims.
Kuwaiti Website
Kuwaits Al-Siyasa website referred to the fatwa as a good progress for Muslims.
The website wrote, Issuing the fatwa was a good progress for which we have been waiting for a long time. It obviously reflects the high regard for Ayatollah Khamenei as a major symbol not only in Iran, but also the entire Islamic world.
Pointing to some groups attempts for causing division among Muslims, the website said, Since a majority of Iranians are Shiites, this will serve as a guide for ameliorating tension.
The website noted that the fatwa issued by Ayatollah Khamenei to denounce the use of abusive language against the wives of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a step in the right direction.
The statement of Ayatollah Khamenei represents the true position of Islam. It is in line with previous fatwas issued by Muslim scholars decades ago to avert a crisis instigated by some stupid people, it said.
We hope all Shiite leaders will adopt this position, while their Sunni counterparts will prevent verbal attacks against other sects.
The website stressed that the family and companions of Prophet (PBUH) belong to all Muslims, so any attack on them is an attack on Muslims.
