Participants of “Admirers of Ahlulbait” Summit met with Ayatollah Khamenei

Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa: Insulting the Mother of the Faithful Aisha is prohibited

Ayatollah Khamenei issued a decree wherein he prohibited insult towards Aisha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and any of the figures and symbols celebrated by Sunni brethren.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said, in response to a question on religious matters, “Insulting figures and symbols celebrated by Sunni brethren, including the wife of the Prophet of Islam [Aisha] is prohibited. This includes the wives of all prophets, particularly the master of all prophets Muhammad (May God’s greetings be upon him and his household).

Fatwa (Islamic ruling) declares that insulting the Mother of the Faithful Aisha is forbidden

In response to a question, where he was asked to comment on insult and use of offensive words against the wife of the Prophet (pbuh) Aisha, Ayatollah Khamenei issued the decree (fatwa) against insulting Aisha. The question was posed by a group of Shia scholars and intellectuals of Al-Ahsa region in Saudi Arabia.

The question was brought up after a supposed Shia clergyman, who fled to Britain as a refugee, launched a Television channel with the help of the British government; he used his channel to insult Aisha, the Prophet’s wife: the clergyman falsely described his act as Shia belief.

This is not the only case wherein Ayatollah Khamenei has called insulting Aisha and other Sunni sanctities as haram (religiously forbidden).

 

Western arrogant powers pay their mercenaries to insult the Mother of the Faithful, Aisha

In a meeting with Shia and Sunni clergy in Kermanshah on October 12, 2011, His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei said: “Preparation in the outer world is another aspect: The devils that attack us will not always attack with the same strategies. The modern day fiends who attack you through internet, satellite channels and highly advanced tools of communication have modern things to articulate with; their hardware and software have been modernized. They create fallacies. They create ideological problems. They give rise to intellectual confusion. They promote despair. They foment discord. I have received reports that petro-dollars are being spent, currently, on certain projects to fuel discord. Often these reports are not made available to the public. On the one hand, they are spending huge amounts of money in order to establish anti-Shia groups among Sunni Muslims in certain Islamic countries. On the other hand, they pay certain so-called Shia preachers to insult and level allegations against the Mother of the Faithful, Aisha, in the name of Shia Islam: these are their methods. As Shia or Sunni Muslims, what do you do when you are faced with these methods? Ultimately, we must not be deceived by what they do: discord among us is the greatest blessing for them.”

 

Insulting the Prophet's wives equals to insulting the Prophet (pbuh)

In a meeting with agents of Sadaf Kowsar Conference, held this year as a tribute to Hazrat Khadija, Ayatollah Khamenei said: “Disrespecting the pure wives of the Prophet (pbuh) should be avoided. The Prophet’s (pbuh) wives are all respectable; anyone who insults any of them has insulted the Prophet. I resolutely declare this offensive. The commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (pbuh) treated her eminence Aisha in such a respectful manner. He treated a woman, who had come to fight against him, with the utmost respect because she was the Prophet’s wife; otherwise the Commander of the Faithful (as) would not stand on a ceremony with anyone: hence, no such disrespect should ever occur.”

    good ruling, i don't like to see that crude behavior

    A bold, and realistic approach of Ayatollah Khamenei to be appreciated. Sincere endeavors are required to review and delete those 'innovations' in faith, creating intolerance, tussle and hostility among Shia and Sunni communities.

    A good decision is taken by Iran government. They will also accept Azmat e Sahab e Karam RadiyAllahu Ta'ala Anhu.

    Disunity between sunni & shi'a is coming to an end. Alhamdulilah , the enemy of Islam & Muslim will be ashamed insha Allah. United we stand.
  • 2016-06-30 22:56
    some body said Azmat e sahaba will be accepted.. IT IS ACCEPTED.. SAHABA who followed the prophet and those who were present in Namaz e Janaza of the prophet SAW, are A'zeem without any doubt, but that does not clean up the acts of So Called SAHABA who did not Love Hazrat A'Li, his wife and Children and those who created bad treatment for AAL e RASOOL SAW.

  • 2016-10-31 22:16
    I thank God for this law forbidding the use of foul languages on the personality of the Holy Prophet's(SAW) wives. Deeply entrenched ground for the fatwa is the need for unity among the Islamic Umma. However, can their actions; both good and bad, be used for or against them if need arises?

    WELLDONE AGHA

    Alhamdulillah. It is good for all of us Muslims that Ayatollah Ali Khameni has made a commendable step to clear the unfortunate issue of that insults on those close and dear to our Prophet Muhammad saw. May muslims worldwide read this announcement. It is our duty to disseminate this fatwa to all muslims around us.

    Assalamualaikum... With all due respect, I would like to know why it took so long to pronounce this decree ( fatwa). Who will be held responsible for those who died in ignorance ( or self propagated beliefs) or at worst killed by others for this very action of showing disrespect. Whom we should put the onus of dividing the Ummah... Uproar of West or the silence of East. May Allah guide and protect each and every Muslim. Aameen. Wassalam
  • 2019-10-10 20:42
    Very happy to hear from you and jazaakallahu khairan katheeran for the issuance of Fatwa and this should apply to the sahabas of the prophet peace and blessings of Allah br upon him .Long live the Islamic Republic of Iran. Amin

  • 2020-05-05 03:51
    Obeying your command is our faith
  • 2020-05-12 00:39
    This is one of the major sources of dispute between sunni and shiah, we hope that you will understand and rectify all the rest. It is indeed a mile stone so far!
  • 2020-05-12 19:06
    If it's true that khamenei issued out that fatwa then that's awesome may Allah make all Muslims in the world to be one umma
  • This Fatwa has created history. You see Shia & Sunny are Muslims. Thanks/gratitude of Muslims to Ayatoll kh. Your highness has erased the differences between Meslims. As a sunny i pray my namaz with Shia Brothers jointly.
