The Almighty has said: "Go forth, lightly or heavily armed, and strive with your wealth and souls in the path of God."

Results of a meeting of all the mujahid forces in the town of al-Bab with the Shari'a Committee to discuss the general mobilization.

1. Obligation of the general mobilization because jihad tomorrow is fard al-ayn [individual duty incumbent on every Muslim].

2. It has been agreed to establish a general mobilization office in the Shari'a Committee.

3. A joint operations room for all the mujahid factions has been established in the town of al-Bab and its countryside.

4. The Shari'a Committee will oversee the general mobilization with the support of the rest of the mujahid factions in the town of al-Bab and its countryside.

5. A financial board has been established to support the general mobilization to be overseen by a committee of distinguished seniors and elders of the town of al-Bab and its countryside, their task being to collect voluntary donations from the believers.

6. All the mujaheed brigades, factions and groups have agreed on uniting work equally in a joint operations room for the town of al-Bab and its countryside.

7. Every Muslim capable and of sound mind must head to the general mobilization office in the Shari'a Committee to wage jihad with his soul or wealth.

8. Pushing back the aggressive enemy is among the foremost obligations today so whoever shrinks from this duty is considered sinful and committing the great sin of refraining from jihad and is classified under the Almighty's words: "If you do not go forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and replace you with another people. And you cannot harm Him at all, and God is capable over everything" [Qur'an 9:39]

Prohibition on mixing between men and women

Praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the warning guider, his family, companions and whoso has followed them with ihsan to the Day of Judgment, as for what follows:

God has said: "And stay in your homes, and do not display yourselves in the manner of the former times of Jahiliya" [Qur'an 33:33]. Imam Qurtubi- may God have mercy on him- said: "The meaning of this verse is the order to stay at home. Even though it is addressed to the Prophet's women [SAWS], others besides them are also intended in meaning. This is so even if there were no evidence to show specification of all other women. For how is the Shari'a replete with evidence that women must stay in their homes and refrain from going out from them except for necessity?"

But also the Imam of tafsir, Mujahid ibn Jabar explained display here with what the heart of the verse has shown. He said: "The woman used to go out and walk among men, so that is the display of the former times of Jahiliya." Not one of the Ahl al-'Ilm has dissented from the point that the woman should stay at home and not go out from it except for necessity. This is on their going out from their home, so what then of their mixing with men?

It is forbidden all the more so and thus the Almighty has said: "When you ask them for something, ask them from behind a veil: that is more pure for your hearts and their hearts" [Qur'an 33:53] And in this verse is evidence that the principle is veiling women from men. Thus God has obligated that speaking with them be from behind a veil that keeps apart woman and man. This is evidence that mixing is forbidden.

Also He has forbidden them from flirting in speech, so that the corrupted should not covet them: the Almighty hass said: "Be not soft in speech lest the one in whose heart is a disease should covet" [Qur'an 33:32]. Also He has ordered them to keep away from all that exposes them to what brings dishonour in their lives. The Almighty has said: "And may they not stamp their feet to make known what they are hiding from adornment" [Qur'an 24:31].

Thus we say: It is absolutely forbidden to mix in private and public schools, institutes, lessons and universities, whether between male and female students or male and female students.

And this is to be considered advice and warning to officials to institute separation between male and female with a week from the date of this statement and there will be a committee tracking and supervising. Whoever is shown to be indifferent, delaying or disdaining the honour of our daughters and sisters will be referred to the umbrella of the law.

Statement concerning the prohibition of music, singing and photos in the shops.

Praise be to God who makes mighty the one who obeys Him and lowers the one who rebels against Him, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, companions and whoso is close to him. As for what follows:

Muslim brother: Know, may God have mercy on you, that stringed instruments and song are forbidden in Islam because they detract from mention of God and the Qur'an, and they are a source of strife and corruption for the heart. And the 'ulama- may God have mercy on them- have pointed to the prohibition through the following:

First: God Almighty has said: "And among the people is the one who buys the amusement of speech to mislead from the path of God without knowledge and takes it in ridicule. Such people will have a humiliating torment" [Qur'an 31:6]. Ibn Mas'ud- may God be pleased with him- said: "It is singing, by the One besides whom there is no other deity"- he repeats it three times.

And the interpreter of the Qur'an Ibn Abbas- may God be pleased with them both- said: "It has been revealed concerning singing and the likes of it."

The interpreter al-Wahidi said: "Most interpreters have agreed that the meaning in 'amusement of speech' is singing."

Second: Lines of evidence from the purified Prophetic Sunna:

1. The Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "Certainly there will be from my Ummah peoples who will permit fornication, silk, wine and stringed instruments"- Sahih al-Bukhari. And the meaning is that they consider these forbidden things permissible with dubious arguments and flimsy lines of evidence.

2. The Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "There are two cursed voices in this world and the Hereafter: the wind instrument on the occasion of joy, and wailing on occasion of adversity"- Sahih al-Jam'I al-Saghir. The Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taymiyya said: "This hadith is among the best lines of argument on prohibiting singing as in the famous expression from Jaber ibn Abdullah: "A voice on the occasion of blessing: amusement and game, and the wind instruments of Satan."

3. The Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "Indeed God has forbidden wine, gambling, and al-kawba." He [also] said: "And everything intoxicating is forbidden." Sufyan said: "So I asked Ali bin Badhima about al-kawba, he said: 'The drum.'" And Ahmad Shaker- may God have mercy on him- authenticated this in his commentary on the chain of transmission of Imam Ahmad.

4. The Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "Certainly there will be in this Ummah shame, decadence and disfigurement, and that is when the drink wines, adopted female singers [al-qaynat] and struck instruments." Al-Qaynat: singers from the slave girls (Sahih al-Jami' al-Saghir by Albani).

The Sheikh of Islam Ibn Taymiyya (God Almighty have mercy on him) said the following in his response to Ibn al-Muthar the Shi'i, when he attributed to the Ahl al-Sunna permitting amusement centres and singing: Ibn Taymiya called him a liar and said: "This is among the lies against the four imams, for they are agreed on forbidding [stringed] instruments that are the instruments of amusement, like the oud and the like." And al-Hassan al-Basri- may God have mercy on him- said: "Tambourines are not among the affairs of the Muslims in anything, and the companions of Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) used to break them." And the Imam Ahmad- may God have mercy on him- said: "The companions of Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) would take the tambourines from the youths in the alleys and smash them up." And on the authority of Ishaq bin Eisa al-Tabba' (reliance from the men of Imam Muslim): he said: "I asked Imam Malek bin Anas about what the people of Medina take license in from singing: he said: 'The immoral do this in our view.'"

Thus according to what has been presented the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham has issued a decision prohibiting the sale of songs on disks and musical instruments as well as the playing of songs of amusement in cars, coaches, shops and all places. Similarly we call on all shops to remove photos of men and women from the display of their shops, for on the authority of Abu al-Haaj: he said: Ali said: "Am I not to entrust you on what the Messenger of God (SAWS) entrusted me? - 'Do not let a tomb remain overseeing anything unless you have levelled it, and do not leave a picture in a house unless you have erased it.'

And every violator will expose himself to required Shari'i consequence.

"Oh you who believe, respond to God and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives your life. And know that God comes between man and his heart and to Him you will be called" [Qur'an 8:24].

Praise be to God...who gives victory to the religion through the people of jihad and the Sunna- He who suffices and has sufficed alone, and our prayers and peace be upon the Prophet al-Mustafa. As for what follows:

Indeed the nature of Islam that God has bestowed on mankind calls for all that is good and forbids all that is ugly, but the immoral regime strived to invert it and change it, making all efforts to do so, until the good became ugly, the condemned was allowed and what was right was condemned. And from that has arisen what has been witnessed and observed on shop owners with display of obscene photos, scandalous mannequins, selling of tight and ornamented clothes, and man selling that which concerns the woman. And the people of religion and manliness, as well as the inhabitants of the wilaya, have been vexed by all of that.

According to the complaints that have reached us, the Hisbah gives notification of the following:

. It is absolutely forbidden to sell tight, transparent or ornamented garments.

. All indecent photos on goods are to be removed.

. It is absolutely forbidden to display mannequins in the shop.

. It is absolutely forbidden for man to sell what concerns woman from undergarments [lit. internal garments].

. It is absolutely forbidden for man to sell and the woman is in a shop at the same time, unless the woman is a mahrim to him.

And whoever violates the clauses of this statement for distribution will be exposed to Shari'i consequences.

And God is the guarantor of success.

Ruling on Yezidis

Question:

Is the Yezidi sect in Iraq original disbelievers or apostates?

Answer:

The Yezidis are original disbelievers, not from the people of the Book, and they don't have the doubt a book [i.e. that would establish they are people of the Book], but rather they are idolaters.

And as for what some of the contemporary studies have claimed in saying that they are of Islamic origin, this has not been proven through reliable authority.

And even supposing that was proven- for the sake of argument- they have nonetheless turned from apostasy and heresy to idolatry, and the predominant opinion among the Ahl al-'Ilm is that whoso moves from a lower religion to a higher religion is established on that transformation.

And the Yezidis differ from the Rafidites- for example- because the Rafidites claim affiliation with Islam and profess its pact, even as they commit a number of its nullifiers, and so they are apostates. As for the Yezidis, they do not claim affiliation with Islam originally, and they do not profess its pact, but rather they claim they are an old religion.

And even as the Yezidis have some of the rituals that are similar to the rituals of the Muslims, this is a matter that does not affect the ruling upon them, as many of the paths and creeds- whether heavenly or earthly in origin- have rituals that are similar to the rituals of the Muslims, but that has not made us characterize them as apostasy.

Therefore, we consider that the rulings of the original disbelievers made clear in their sagacity from the books of jurisprudence apply to this idolatrous sect. And God knows best.

Statement for distribution on the matter of Travelling Women and the supervision in area of Raqqa

Indeed it is from the door of cooperation on the basis of piety and awareness of God and by which God has ordered us to safeguard the safety of the religion of the women and cultivate their religious and world interests, and it is for the abundance of inquiries about some of the reprehensible acts and manner of dealing with them especially on the issue of women travelling without a mahrim [close male relative], and after the holding of a meeting by the supervisor of Hisbah in the center for the city with the Amir of Hisbah in Wilayat al-Raqqa and with the Shari'a supervisor and by the agreement of the Amir of the city, especially on some of the reprehensible acts on the issue of women travelling without a mahrim, we publicize the following:

Women may not leave the province without a mahrim unless they have a transit document from Hisbah and an ID photo with seal of approval from the Hisbah office in Karajat.

It is absolutely forbidden for women to travel to the land of kufr [disbelief]- except for serious medical conditions and by decision of the general hospital with seal of approval from the Amir of the hospital.

Women aged 50 and above are allowed to travel to the lands of the Islamic State without a mahrim.

Women younger than 50 are allowed to travel to the lands of the Islamic State with a mahrim.

Elderly women are not pressured on the issue of the hijab.

If the travelling woman has her son with her, of competent, distinguished mind, he can be considered a mahrim for her.

Every Muslim who does not have ID proof must go to the centers of the Islamic police to be given the document of ID proof.

To all checkpoints and offices of the garages, the populace of the Muslims are not to be allowed to pass except after bringing forth the document of personal ID proof from the centers of the Islamic police for those who don't have family IDs/cards or something to prove their identities.

Buses- coaches- must not allow passengers to get on or off outside the garage for whatever reason.

Anyone who contravenes these instructions from coaches, offices and passengers will subject himself to the necessary consequence and inquiry.

General/Public Call for the Citizens of the Islamic State

On the matter of raising misdeeds with the Diwan al-Qaḍa wa al-Maẓalim for all who have been exposed to wrong-doing or infringement on himself or his property whether by the soldiers of the Islamic State or its amirs.

Thanks be to God who says: "We have sent our Messengers with clear affirmations and We have sent down with them the book and the balance so that the people may establish fairness."

And prayers and peace be upon the one who says: "Support your brother: oppressor or oppressed. It was said: 'Oh Messenger of God, I have supported him when he is oppressed, but how can I support him as oppressor?' He said: 'You stop him from oppression, so that is your support for him.'" Bukhari put it out in al-Maẓalim 198/5 and Muslim in Piety and Connection no. 2584.

As for what follows: Undertaking the obligation to support the oppressed and restore rights to its people, and in our effort to track and catch infringements on the part of the amirs and soldiers of the Islamic State, as well as the necessity of the accountability of its people, and victory for the oppressed of the Muslims: so if anyone catches one of our soldiers or amirs engaging in wrong-doing, infringement or offense at hand, we renew our call to all the citizens of the Islamic State- whether from the Muslims and the Ahl al-Dhimma [dhimmis: Jews/Christians]- to head to the Islamic courts affiliated with the Diwan al-Qaḍa wa al-Maẓalim, and ask them to raise the issue of those misdeeds to seek the restoration of their rights and demand justice from whosoever has wronged them- whoever he may be. And we bear witness to God and the rest of the Muslims that we will not be content with him or keep silent about him. And we will hold the people in this matter to account and we will work to restore right to its people and support them as we can, when that matter has reached us.

In this context we also advise our brothers from the soldiers and amirs of the Islamic State to be aware of God in private and public, and beware of oppression and aggression against any of the citizens, and we warn them of the consequences of that in this world and the Hereafter. So be aware of the call of the oppressed, for there is no veil between it and God.

Thanks be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, companions and whoever is close to him. As for what follows:

Imam Muslim narrated on the authority of Abu al-Hayaj al-Asadi- may God be pleased with him: he said: "Ali- may God be pleased with him- said to me: 'Do I not induce you to what the Messenger of God [PBUH] induced me? Do not allow a statue to stand unless you have obliterated it or a grave raised unless you have levelled it.'"

My brother in God:

This is an order from the Prophet (PBUH) to demolish statues- and this order is to prevent the step towards idolatry- for thus in the statues is resemblance to God's creation.

And there is another order of warning:

It is regarding the display of revealing women's clothes, and it is one of the things by which many people have been enticed...we offer this [warning] as sincere and affectionate advice for you, for the believers are sincere [?], while the munafiqeen [hypocrites/lukewarm] are swindlers.

Question: What is the ruling on eating Turkish meats?

Answer

On the authority of Adi bin Hatem may God be pleased with him: he said: the Messenger of God (may God's peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "...And if you have thrown an arrow at the game and find it after a day or two days with nothing on it but the mark of your arrow, eat it. But if it fell dead in the water, don't eat it."- Muttafiq alayhi, and in the narration of Muslim: "and if you don't know if it died in the water or through your arrow."

Imam Ibn Qudama (may God have mercy on him) said: "...and because there is doubt regarding lawful hunting, it is necessary to adhere to the ruling of declaring it forbidden" (al-Mughni: 12/17).

And he also said: "...The principle is prohibition, and the solution rests on a condition and that is slaughter according to the law by the people who undertake that or those who hunted it." (al-Mughni: 12/17).

As for meats imported from Turkey, it has not been ascertained 1. Who have slaughtered them, and 2. What is the nature of the slaughterer by people; therefore it may be the case that many of those dealing with the slaughter in Turkey are from the people of apostasy- for all we know. Therefore we consider adherence to the principle that is declaring it forbidden until evidence makes clear the contrary.

Imam Nawawi (may God have mercy on him) said: "In this is a statement of important foundation and that is that if there is doubt on the legality of the slaughter of the animal, there is no solution of making it permissible to eat, because the principle is to declare it forbidden and there is nothing to the contrary on this."- Commentary on Sahih Muslim 13/116.

Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no Prophet. As for what follows:

It has now become clear that many of the repenting policemen and soldiers have returned to apostasy again, conspiring to wage war on the Ahl al-Sunna and support the worshippers of fire, the Cross and the Rafidites; similarly conspiracies have been discovered taking place within the city to shed the Muslims' blood, violate their honor and please their Rafidite masters.

Therefore the Islamic State has decided to impose conditions and restrictions for repentance and similarly for their remaining in the city and not force them out, preserving the religion, blood and honor of the Ahl al-Sunna. They are as follows:

1. A written pledge from the sheikh of the tribe or head of the clan not to return to work or conspire inside the city

2. The repenter's home is to be stripped of arms.

3. The repenter's home will be subject to inspection for arms at any time.

4. The repenter must not connect, walk or sit with repenting and non-repenting policemen, and must not sit with the assemblies.

5. In the event of changing place of residence, notification must be given.

6. In the event of leaving the area, notification must be given along with statement of reason.

7. Mobile number with respect to the repenter is to be ascertained, and it may not be changed without the Islamic State's knowledge.

8. The repenter's blood is to be preserved and his wealth is not to be returned [to Islamic State holdings]

9. If the repenter does not stick to the conditions, the guarantor must inform the Islamic State before it learns of that so that consequences do not come upon him.

10. The policeman continuing in service who now wants to repent must bring a pistol, and the one who previously abandoned service and now wants to repent must bring 2 new Kalashnikovs.

11. If any of these conditions are violated, the pledge becomes annulled and the following apply:

a) The repenter will be killed for his crime, and there is no dignity, and his home will be destroyed.

b) The guarantor's home will be destroyed and he will be banished for a year.

Question: What is the ruling on playing table football?

Answer: It is permitted to play table football on these conditions:

1. It should be devoid of gambling and included in that definition is having the loser pay to hire the game. The Almighty has said: "Oh you who believe, indeed wine, al-Maysar, stone altars and divination by arrows [an Arab pre-Islamic practice] are filth of Satan's handiwork. Avoid them that you may have success"- al-Ma'ida 90 [Qur'an 5:90]. Ibn Abbas and Ibn Omar- may God be pleased with them both- said: 'Al-Maysar is gambling.' [Tafsir Ibn Katheer- 3/178].

2. That it should be devoid of statues and portraits in accordance with the strong prohibition against that. And that means that the head is cut off from the original part of the game [i.e. the head is cut off from the figurines so they don't look like statues].

3. In it there should not be blasphemy, cursing, scorn, resentment, hatred, according to what Bukhari narrated from a hadith of Ibn Mas'ud from the Prophet [PBUH]. He said: "Vituperating the Muslim, committing injustice against him or fighting him is disbelief."

4. That it should not be a barrier to obligatory mention of God's name, or any obligatory act of obedience, and when you have become distracted from what is obligatory externally or internally, it is forbidden by the agreement of the 'ulama, just as the Sheikh of Islam [Ibn Taymiyya] affirmed in the exposition of his discussion on chess and this discussion also applies to table football and whatever else corrupts the two from among contemporary games.

We warn as we warned in the ruling on playing billiards about the dimension of these matters that do not render the Muslim benefit, especially the mujaheed in the path of God and what is in these things regarding wasting time and harshness of the heart. And God knows best. God bless our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions.

And one must also drawn attention to this: it is not proper for the mujahedeen servants of God to occupy their leisure time with these sorts of things that render no benefit on them but rather constitute a waste of time. The Prophet said: "There are two blessings in which most people are deceived: health and leisure." And among this is the harshness of the heart of which God knows and thus the Sunnah has come not to encourage increasing the number of permissible deeds. Thus came in the Sunan of Tirmidhi on the authority of Ibn Omar: that the Prophet said: "Don't increase talk without mention of God, for abundance of talk without mention of God is harshness for the heart. And indeed the furthest of people from God are those with harsh heart." And God knows best. God bless our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions.

b) It should not contain a sim-card.

Decision

As a result of the lack of oversight over the abundance of fish, paucity of awareness, and the greed and ambition of some of the fishermen and their audacity in carrying out fishing in ways that are illegal and harmful to the life of the people, the fish and the river environment.

The Islamic State has decided on the following:

1. The use of electric current in hunting fish is forbidden because it leads to extermination of many river/water creatures as well as congenital disfigurement for small fish and other river creatures.

2. No fishing with use of explosive materials, dynamite and the like.

3. No fishing with use of toxins and other chemical substances because that leads to the death of all the creatures of fish and others besides them, as well as poisoning people who obtain food from them.

4. No fishing at a time of proliferation of the fish and river/water creatures because that leads to the prevention of the proliferation of the fish and the killing of their eggs, which constitutes a threat to the abundance of fish.

We ask all who come upon this decision to be bound by it for it is

Al-Buhuth wa al-Eftaa' Committee

Fatwa No.: 36

Date: 19/2/1436 AH

Question: Does zakat apply to agricultural enterprises that belonged to the apostates?

Answer: If this apostate is captured in the realm of Islam under its rule and we knew of the obligation of zakat in the time of his acceptance of Islam, it is not cancelled through his apostasy as an offences penalty and thus have affirmed the Shafi'is and Hanbalis. Thus it said in the Gift of the One in Need: "As for when it [zakat] is obligatory and then he apostasies, it is still taken from his wealth/property without exception." [12/284]

That is because zakat is the right of the poor and the deserving so it is not cancelled through apostasy as expenditures and penalties and the rest of his wealth/property will be in treasury of the Muslims because the apostate does not pass on inheritance.

But if there was no knowledge of the time of the obligation of zakat upon him, we return to the original principle which is that his wealth/property will be war booty for the Muslims and it will be spent in their interests.

But if this apostate has fled to the abode of disbelief and the Muslims seize his wealth/property which is in the realm of Islam, it becomes war booty for the Muslims, because it is wealth/property of a disbeliever the Muslims have seized without treading on it with horse or riding camels. The Almighty has said: "And He has granted for you to inherit their land, abode and wealth/property." [Ahzab 27: Qur'an 33:27]. And that is the case for the apostates who have fled and abandoned their wealth/property and their agricultural enterprises. And God knows best.

God's peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions.

The Agricultural Plan for the Summer Season

To the distinguished brothers in the offices of the Diwan al-Zara'a in Wilayat al-Kheir, may God protect them.

We ask you to work to implement the agricultural plan for the current summer season and make mention of it through gathering the peasants and heads of the associations and making them embrace what follows in the decision on this matter.

1. 30% of the field land is to be cultivated with summer crops (cotton, yellow corn, vegetables);

2. 70% of the field land is to be cultivated with crops that only require one watering/irrigation (watermelon, melon, sesame and seed crops).

This should also draw the peasant's attention to the decrease in the river level and the importance of preserving irrigation water, and thus it is absolutely forbidden for field lands to be irrigated in violation of this agricultural program, and thus the peasants who violate will be subjected to reprimand (the lands that draw water from the path of the irrigation projects).

And may God reward you best.

Thus we must make preparations to resist it and that will be done by leaving reserve stocks of grain in every home of the homes of the Muslims, which is in compliance with the command of God Almighty to prepare material and His command for us in this sort of state of affairs to accumulate storage with His words: "And what you harvest, leave in its spikes."

Prohibition on importing

Praise be to God, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, and on his family be protection, as for what follows:

I ask God (Almighty and Exalted is He) to protect you, show your opinion the right way, make firm your steps, raise your strength and grant you success in what He loves and is pleased with. Indeed He is powerful over everything...

We would like to inform you about an important issue: and that is concerning Iranian goods (food and medical), for complaints have come to us and there is a lack of confidence in dealing with these goods that come to us from Iran, for in Wilayat al-Anbar, they found the watermelon was contaminated with poisonous substances, and the brother the amir of the Diwan al-Siha mentioned the lack of trust in Iranian medical treatments/goods etc., for these are a people of treachery and betrayal who are not to be trusted, for this is their habit. Thus it is forbidden to import food and medical goods from Persian Iran.

This letter comes into effect from the date it reaches you, and as for goods present in the shops, they are not to be confiscated, but rather the opportunity is to be given to sell them to whoever might get rid of them, and no new goods are to be imported after this process is completed.

Subject: Ultimatum

Praise to God and prayers, peace and protection be upon the Messenger of God and his family and companions.

The Almighty has said: "Indeed those whom the angels take in death while wronging themselves, it will be said unto them: 'In what state were you?' They will say: 'We were oppressed in the land.' They [the angels] will say: 'Was not the land of God wide for you to emigrate to?' They will be confined to Hell, and evil it is as a fate."- Nisa 97 [Qur'an 4:97]. And in that is a clear threat to whosoever has contented himself to remain in the Dar al-Kufr and abandoned hijra to Dar al-Islam despite his ability to do so. For indeed the angels who will seize his soul, and they will severely rebuke him. And in what way have you distinguished yourselves from the mushrikeen? But rather you have been greatly blackened, having abandoned existence with the Muslims, the jihad with them and working with them against their enemies. Thus you have deserved Hell and an evil fate (Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman fi Tafsir Kalam al-Madan lil-'Alamat al-Sa'adi)

For this reason, the Messenger of God (PBUH) disavowed every Muslim present in Dar al-Kufr and abstaining from the duty to migrate to Dar al-Islam when he could do so, for he (upon whom be God's blessings and peace) said: "I disavow every Muslim established among the backs of the mushrikeen" (Sahih narrated by Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi). So how could anyone who was in Dar al-Islam, in glory, justice and integrity, then abandon it and move to Dar al-Kufr with its humiliation, oppression/wrong-doing and decline!

And after God Almighty granted conquest for His mujahideen servants in Wilayat Ninawa and other wilayats of the Islamic State, and they cleansed them of the filth of the Safavids and secularists, and they erased the signs of idolatry and innovation, and they spread tawheed, the Sunna, cleansing and integrity. And they have applied the hudud punishments, established the Diwans, set right the state of affairs of the citizens, sought justice for the oppressed and seized upon the wrongdoer's hand. And they have announced an Islamic Caliphate on the Program of Prophethood, in which the Muslim lives with pride and in safety for himself, honor and property.

After these conquests that the Muslims had expected for a long time, we were surprised that a group of those belonging to Islam were leaving the land of the Caliphate and migrating to the land of Kufr for the sake of a vanishing material world, small property/commodities and cheap employment. And among the most notable of these people are a group of doctors, female doctors and health staff.

For some of them have taken refuge in the fortresses of the Rafidites in the provinces of Iraq, some have established themselves with the secularists in what is called the Kurdistan region, some have headed to settle in the Arab states ruled by the idolatrous tyrants, but also some of them have chosen to live with the Crusaders in the land of Kufr- Europe!!

Since the conquest, and the length of time elapsed, the Islamic State has been trying many ways to call these doctors, female doctors and health staff to their homes, hospitals, clinics, colleges and institutes in the realm of the Caliphate, many of them have continued to resist and oppose, so the following is decided:

1. This is the last warning to doctors, dentists, pharmacists, professors of the colleges of medicine and nursing, and health and administrative staff (affiliated with the Health department and higher education) who abandoned the land of the Caliphate, and they must return to their areas and take up their employment posts immediately.

2. The period of warning will be 30 days from the date of publication of this statement, and after the expiry of this period, moved and unmoved property will be confiscated from whoever did not heed the clause no. 1 above, and the confiscation will be entrusted as real estate of the State subject to restrictions/clauses placed by the Diwan al-Qada in advance.

3. The Islamic State will accept repentance from anyone who has touched on Kufr and fallen into apostasy from those mentioned in clause 1 on condition they return to their areas and undertake the necessary proceedings in seeking repentance.

And God is predominant over His affair but most people don't know it.

Working on the basis of the instructions of the Amir al-Mu'mineen [Commander of the Believers: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi] whom God has granted success and whose line He has directed, the door of repentance is opened to the factions that have fought the Islamic State, and thus included with them are their families. And so the opening of the door of repentance is announced in the town of Albukamal for the following factions:

1. Factions of the Free Army

2. The so-called Islamic Front

3. The Jowlani Front [Jabhat al-Nusra]

4. Soldiers of the Nusayri regime (from the Ahl al-Sunna)

And repentance is embraced on the following conditions:

1. The person acknowledges his apostasy

2. Submitting to a Shari'a session

3. Heading to the military/training camps and from there to the fighting fronts

4. Presentation of all information he has

5. Handing over all arms he has

So whoever wants to repent according to the aforementioned conditions will have protection from us: what is for us will be for him and what is upon us will be upon him. Let it be known that this chance for repentance includes whoever was fighting and whoever was sitting and whoever did not repent with the Islamic State but absolutely does not include the leaders of the factions

Statement of hudud

The Lord- Almighty and Exalted is He- has said: "For no, by your Lord, they will not believe until you judge the dispute between them and they find in themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and willingly submit." [Qur'an 4:65].

The Exalted has also said: "Whoever does not judge by what God has sent down, they are the disbelievers." [Qur'an 5:44]

The Exalted has also said: "So is it the ruling of the age of ignorance [before Islam] they desire? And who is better than God in judgement for a people certain in faith?" [Qur'an 5:50]

The Exalted has also said: "That is the judgment of God between you: and God is all-knowing, all-wise" [Qur'an 60:10].

Oh Muslims, indeed the one who ponders these verses will find in them great meaning far removed from much of the minds of the people in this time and among these meanings are:

Denial of faith of those who do not submit to Islamic Shari'a judgement.

The necessity of being led by and submitting to Shari'a rulings without discomfort in the soul.

The one who does not judge by what God has sent down is a kafir [disbeliever] and God forbid, even if he fasts, prays and asserts he is Muslim.

There exists no better ruling than the ruling of God and all other rulings are ones of ignorance.

When God- Almighty and Exalted is He- has judged between His servants, He has ruled between them and He is all-knowing, all-wise and there is no one more knowing or wiser than He- the Exalted.

Therefore, the Islamic State, believing in God- Almighty and Exalted is He- who has sent down the Book, and regarding as kufr [disbelief] the nations united to wage war on the Lord of the Lords, and regarding as kufr [disbelief] the judgements/rulings put in place by those created from the soil, pledges to God- Almighty and Exalted is He- to rule by His Shari'a in His land among His servants even if the disbelievers hate it. Thus we would like to make clear to the people the hudud of God- Almighty and Exalted is He- as a warning and deterrent.

Blasphemy against God: Almighty and Exalted is He: Death

Blasphemy against the Messenger [PBUH]: Death even if he repents

Blasphemy against the religion: Death

Adultery: 1. Stoning to death for the chaste [muhsan], 2. 100 lashes & banishment for a year for the unchaste;

Homosexuality: Death for the penetrator and receiver;

Theft: Cutting off the hand;

Drinking wine [alcohol]: 80 lashes;

Calumny: 80 lashes;

Spying for the interests of the disbelievers: Death;

Apostasy from Islam: Death;

Highway criminality: 1. Killing and taking wealth: death and crucifixion, 2. Killing: death, 3. Taking wealth: Cut off the right hand and left foot, 4. Terrorizing the people: banishment from the land.

And indeed we make the people fear their Lord and call them to enter into His mercy by embracing His commands and adhering to His prohibition orders for that is is the best outcome in that and there is nothing better in the one judged if he does not submit to the law of the Lord and there is nothing bette for the one who judges if he does not judge/rule his servants by the ruling of God. And indeed the Islamic State will not compromise on this great attainment for whose sake it has offered hundreds of martyrs from its pious and pure sons, but rather it has established the law of God among its soldiers, and it has brought judgements even of death without exception among them.

And God is predominant in His affair but most people don't know it [Qur'an 12:21].

The Almighty has said: "Go forth, whether light or heavy, and strive with your wealth and souls in the cause of God. That is better for you, if you truly know"- [Qur'an 9:41].

The Messenger of God said: "And when you are called on to fight, go forth"- narrated by Bukhari.

In obedience of the command of God Almighty, and thus the command of the Noble Messenger, the Islamic State calls on the youth of Islam in Wilayat al-Furat to fight and calls on them to join the convoy of their mujahedeen brothers in obedience to God and in support of His religion, so oh you who love what is best and desire jihad, get up, hasten and prepare the forearm of earnestness, perhaps you will be a just brick in the building of this blessed structure.

To all the besieged soldiers in Kweiris airbase,

God's ruling upon you is a strike with the sword, and by God we won't have mercy on any of you so strive to repent and defect from this kafir regime and we will accept the tawba [repentance] of the one who repents from among you before we gain power over him if he comes to us. And your taghut will not save you from anything for indeed your blood is to no avail and we will make no exception unless for the one who comes to us, and a lesson is for you in Tabqa airport [where a massacre of regime soldiers took place at the hands of IS].

Praise to God and prayers and peace and salutations be upon the Messenger of God, his family and companions.

We ask God- Almighty and Exalted is He- that you be well and fine.

We attach for you the suggestion put forward by a committee of experts in the Diwan al-Siha about the means of preventing the health sector from collapsing in light of the total cut off of salaries for the past five months so we ask you to take what you consider to be the appropriate measures as soon as possible as those affiliated have actually begun slacking off from work hours as individual cases currently and we fear the matter will become more widespread.

We ask God to grant you success and the right path.

May God reward you best.

Fatwa no.: 48

Date: 28/2/1436 AH

Question: What is the ruling on selling passports to the Muslim populace?

Answer: If the travel is to the land of kufr for the purpose of a temporary undertaking out of need/necessity, whether for business or some other permissible purposes/goals, it is conditional on the ability to show disavowal of the disbelievers and hatred of idolatry, disbelief and its people with a hatred that has no affection in it, and not to take them as friends/helpers.

Similarly it is conditional on guarantee over the religion, and the ability to display the rituals of Islam perfectly without fear or opposition, and not to imitate their features, and not to share with them in their disbelieving customs and their nationalist, idolatrous occasions of joy, and not to congratulate them for these occasions. You are also not to glorify them and in that regard, in short: you are not to concord with them inwardly or outwardly.

Thus there is no doubt that it is without gain for anyone who wants to travel to the land of disbelief. Thus it is not permitted to have the citizens of the Islamic State realize travelling to the land of disbelief, and they are to be prevented from doing that. Thus it is not permitted to sell the passport that is tantamount to the identity that makes it possible for its owner to travel to that land, and to the means apply the rulings of intentions.

And the knowledge is with God Almighty, and lastly we affirm thanks to God the Lord of the Worlds, and may God's peace and deliverance be upon Muhammad, his family, companions and brothers till the Day of Judgment.

I, the one called <...>, affirm disavowal of the faction <...> affiliated with <...> and I affirm that what I got involved with in standing with the Free Army, Islamic Front, Jabhat al-Nusra and others besides them against the Islamic State constitutes waging war on God, His Messenger, and the believers, so I seek God's forgiveness from this deed and disavow fighting the Islamic State and will not wage war on it or stand against it.

And I pledge to abide by the following conditions:

1. Not to organize or join any other faction except after the Islamic State's knowledge.

2. I pledge to hand over all weapons (any type) belonging to the faction and I pledge to hand over all personal weapons comprising the rifle or pistol only.
