The famous Islamic scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani, former judge of the Federal Court of Shariat, emphasized Thursday to avoid violence while boycotting products in support of Palestine, and adds that such activities must be carried out peacefully without damaging lives and properties.
Mufti Usmani’s comments were produced following multiple recent attacks on the exits of international fast food chains throughout the country.
An output of a fast food chain was under an attack on Wednesday in the Lahore Defense Housing Authority (DHA) when dozens of people threw it with stones, breaking steps of the window and damaging some of its portions. The video clips that arise on social networks shortly after the incident showed a mafia that attacked the building in phase IV of the DHA, known for housing outlets of different food chains.
The Decorations attacked a restaurant in Mirpurkhas and set it on fire on Tuesday night, authorities said Wednesday. In Karachi, the Gadap city police said that more than 100 activists from a religious party tried to loot another fast food chain on the M-9 highway on Wednesday night, but the police frustrated their plan.
Ten Tehreek–Labbaik Pakistan activists were arrested Tuesday night after a mafia looted an international food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in Karachi’s DHA.
KFC notably is not included in the boycott list of the global boycott movement, divestment and sanctions (BDS). The BDS movement is inherently a non -violent movement that demands that the corporations boycott be “complicit in the oppression of the Palestinians.”
When heading to a conference on Palestine in Islamabad today, Mufti Usmani criticized Israel’s action in the course of his devastating military onslaught in the Gaza Strip and the Product Boicot supported Israel, the followers of Israel and those who show such goods in their stores.
However, the scholar emphasized: “Islam is a religion of balance. It is not a vandalization religion [property] or hurt someone simply letting themselves fall for emotions.
“Therefore, throw stones at someone or harm someone’s life and property is prohibited in Shariah. Therefore, protest and boychancan but peacefully in which there should be no element of disturbances.”
He said that the country’s rulers should also be convinced peacefully to carry out their responsibilities and obligations.
“Those who are ready to fight against their Muslim governments and have taken weapons in this name [of boycott] It is not at all an acceptable form, we have clearly announced this. Whatever it has to do must be peacefully in another way … civil wars began in Muslim countries. “
