The Supreme Fatwa Committee, affiliated with the Kurdistan Region’s Islamic Scholars Union, much like the Iranian mullahs, has opted for theocracy over all reasoning and science. The Committee issued a statement about the continuation of Friday prayers during the outbreak of coronavirus:
According to Islamic Sharia, daily congregational prayers as well as Friday prayers in mosques cannot be halted now except in those places where the virus has spread. In such a case, the KRG ministries of health and endowment and the fatwa committee can jointly decide to halt congregational prayers until the epidemic ends….Anyone who dies due to Covid-19 is regarded a martyr as per Islamic Sharia.
That is true. It’s in a hadith:
The Messenger of Allah said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah’s cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr. (Sunan Abi Dawud 3111)
Another hadith adds that Muslims should not flee an epidemic:
Narrated `Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) I asked Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about the plague. He told me that it was a Punishment sent by Allah on whom he wished, and Allah made it a source of mercy for the believers, for if one in the time of an epidemic plague stays in his country patiently hoping for Allah’s Reward and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, he will get the reward of a martyr.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 3474)
Fortunately, the Supreme Fatwa Committee learned its lesson fast, unlike the mullahs. After the first reported death from COVID-19 — the cleric Rashid Abdulrahman — the Supreme Fatwa Committee did not object when the Kurdistan Regional Government Council of Ministers, on recommendation from the Ministry of Health, decided to halt all gatherings to stop the spread of Covid-19.
“Some Iraqis rejecting coronavirus warnings,” by Dana Tlaib Menmy, Al-Monitor, March 12, 2020:
SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq — Iraqi Kurdistan health officials’ recommendations seem at odds with some religious leaders’ advice on dealing with the new coronavirus, Covid-19.
Some prominent clerics there are reminding Muslims that the Quran promises a martyr’s reward for the faithful who trust in Allah despite pestilence like Covid-19. Some are sharing a Kurdish poem that reads, “You youths take the mosque’s path / do not care about what is on your way / our mosque’s congregation is far away from epidemics.”
This is quite concerning to health officials. Though the number of infections in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan is thought to be small at this time, Iraq shares a long border with Iran, which is a hotspot for the virus.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Health Ministry on March 1 announced the first confirmed coronavirus cases in the region. “Tests were conducted for 24 [suspected cases]. As a result, four people from Sulaimaniyah tested positive for Covid-19, including a family of three and another woman who all returned from Iran. All of those who tested positive for the coronavirus were in quarantine,” the ministry announced in a statement.
As of March 11, 71 cases of Covid-19 had been officially recorded in all of Iraq, including 15 in the Kurdistan Region. Seven people had died nationally, including one in Kurdistan, and 15 had recovered, leaving 49 active cases.
Rashid Abdulrahman, a preacher at Khanaqa Mahmwi Mosque in downtown Sulaimaniyah, was recorded March 3 as the first coronavirus-related fatality in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. The cleric, 70, had chronic heart and asthma conditions, and previously had undergone heart surgery. He had not visited Iran recently, his son told the media March 4.
A day before the cleric’s death, the Supreme Fatwa Committee, affiliated with the Kurdistan Region’s Islamic Scholars Union (ISU), said in a statement, “According to Islamic Sharia, daily congregational prayers as well as Friday prayers in mosques cannot be halted now except in those places where the virus has spread. In such a case, the KRG ministries of health and endowment and the fatwa committee can jointly decide to halt congregational prayers until the epidemic ends.” It continued, “Anyone who dies due to Covid-19 is regarded a martyr as per Islamic Sharia.”
Hours after the cleric’s death, the KRG Council of Ministers decided “to halt all religious ceremonies, rituals and activities — including Friday sermons — in mosques, churches and temples throughout the Kurdistan Region until further notice.”
“The decision was per a request by the KRG Ministry of Health to stop all gatherings as a protection measure against Covid-19, and the Supreme Fatwa Committee did not object,” ISU head Abdulla Saed Waisy told Al-Monitor….

Praise Allah that many, many martyrs soon go to that continuous frat party in the celestial whorehouse, aka the seventh circle of Hell!

Cult leaders have no problem telling their followers to commit mass suicide ,the leaders are quick to exempt themselves from following the herd off the cliff always pushing from a safe distance in the rear.

Wow, got a chuckle out of that one…

Islamic logic: if the worst Muslim criminal (the Al Capone of Islam) is walking down the street and a badly constructed building collapses on him, then the worst Muslim criminal becomes ‘a martyr’.
mortimer says
Corollary to Islamic logic: if a dirty kafir working for the Red Cross is walking down the street and a building collapses on him, then it is the punishment of Allah.
FYI says
But that’s because muslims “are the BEST community that hath been raised up for mankind.Ye enjoin right conduct and forbid indecency and ye believe in allah” {koran 3:110} unlike those dirty kaffirs ,those Jews and Christians,the People of the Book, who “are the WORST of created beings” {koran 98:6} especially those sinister Jews,those “apes to be despised and hated”{koran 2:65}
( Jews.A people that includes ALL the Biblical Prophets and Jesus Christ:all are JEWISH.In fact even the koran insists the true prophets have to be from the children of Israel koran 45:16. muhammed,laughably,wasn’t ,and so he doesn’t satisfy the koran’s own criterion of who had the right to be entitled to be a prophet..}
Thus we see islam has an Apartheid system:
muslims{the best,superior k3:110}
versus
the Jews/Christians{the worst,inferior k98:6}( …and the Hindus,the Buddhists etc}
And of course you cannot “Love your neighbor” in islam{Lev 19:18,the 2nd chief commandment of the Actual God} thanks to your non-muslim neighbor being classified as inferior /the worst of created beings.This is facilitated by the islamic Doctrine of Hate,al walaa wal baraa and the koran 5:51 command for muslims NOT to be friends with Jews and Christians{since after all muslims are “the best community” and infidels are the “worst of created beings”}
Note too that there is no concept in islam of a non-muslim being equal to a muslim and no concept of a person being made in the spiritual image of God.Why love your infidel neighbor when the koran and islam gives permission to hate them?This of course facilitated the Arabs in conquest as once you dehumanize an opponent it becomes easy to kill or enslave them:ideal for caliphate-building.
In islam it is THEM{infidels} versus US{muslims}
CogitoErgoSum says
As I mentioned before, Muhammad was a liar. But okay, you Muslims who believe his lies, be sure that your “martrydom” from coronavirus is accompanied by the daily consumption of a good dose of camel urine. As for me I don’t believe a single word attributed to this obviously false prophet. God did not create human beings so they could spend all their time worshiping Him. God gave us life as a gift and treating this gift as if it is worthless is the greatest insult of all to the one who breathed His spirit into us. I say living a long and good life which helps other live a long and good life is far better than the words of any prayer ever offered to God.

Or your lemonade? The mullahs have received a big lemon and are busying themselves trying to get the press to squeeze it and make lemonade! Trump and his inexplicable SANCTIONS are what is unfairly making martyrs of them all! But Inshallah, as they say!

According to the feature article:
“Islamic Scholars Union says “Anyone who dies due to Covid-19 is a martyr per Islamic Sharia””
Just wondering what kind of trouble Pope Francis would get into if he said the exact same thing…
somehistory says
Someone should clue these guys in…such disagreement among the deluded.
However, most of mankind is being told to stop gathering in large numbers…Israel has limited it to ten…so the virus is not spread further among the temporarily well people.
Even churches and synagogues are closed to large gatherings for the well-being of everyone.
so, let these sickos in religion, morals, mental health, etc., get together in large groups if they wish to test and see if their “god” can keep them well…or accept their deaths as “martyrdom” and send them straight to that place where their fake ‘prophet’ already is.
satan is their ‘god,’ and that demon has no power to keep people well or heal them from sickness. The devil only has the power to kill people off…as he did with Job’s children and would have done with Job had he been allowed to go that far. So, they should just all keep gathering and sharing their foul air. Everyone then can see just who is unable to save.

Yeah, that’s the funny thing about Sharia law and the Quran, lets make up this BS as we go along, just like the whole of their holy book is made up..

They pray to be Martyr’s for Allah so let it be! The Koran/virus is fitting for islam and Gods way of cleaning up mankind’s error for creating such a false/evil religion.
