Interesting Psak: the Rules of Jihad

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
Islamic CLeric Dr Salman Al-Dhaya (sp?) of Gaza has recently issued a fatwa,or Islamic psak halacha, saying the October 7 brutal attack by Hamas against Israel was prohibited and against the laws of Islam and of Jihad.
Al-Dhaya said that they should not have perpetrated the attack so as not to destroy the lives of the affected people. They should not have attacked. Further, Hamas had committed to distancing the fighting from the local civilians and to distribute aid and security in various forms. The Koran and Suna, Dr Al Dhaya says, lay out the conditions for jihad and in jihad one is supposed to avoid actions that will cause an exaggerated and disproportionate response from the enemy that will create a response more costly than the benefits of the jihad.source: N12
The good cleric better watch himself, considering he just issued a psak against Hamas...
That being said, despite this psak being against Hamas, he isnt perturbed by the brutal massacre and horrors perpetrated by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians. He is only upset at them for having caused Israel to respond disproportionately and hurt Palestinian civilians.
