Afghan delegation declines Pakistan’s request for Fatwa on domestic conflicts
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday Najib explained that the mediators also supported this request, citing their limited awareness of the sensitivities between the two countries.
Rahmatullah Najib, Deputy Minister of Interior and member of Afghanistan’s negotiation team with Pakistan, revealed that during recent talks, the Pakistani side requested the Islamic Emirate issue a fatwa declaring all ongoing wars in Pakistan as unlawful.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday Najib explained that the mediators also supported this request, citing their limited awareness of the sensitivities between the two countries.
He added that while the Afghan delegation agreed in principle that a fatwa could be issued, they emphasized that the decision for the authority to issue such a decree lies solely with Darul Ifta. Any decision from this body would strictly follow Islamic law, not personal or external preferences.
Najib noted that this explanation may not have been acceptable to the Pakistani delegation, and these differences ultimately led to the negotiations concluding without any tangible results.
