Mufti Hassoun Claims Fatwas Were Pre-Prepared
Former Syrian Grand Mufti Ahmad Badr al-Din Hassoun stated that he was pressured by former President Bashar al-Assad and his security apparatus. He explained that the fatwas he issued during his tenure were sent to him ready-made from the presidential office and security branches, and his role was limited to announcing them. These fatwas were used to justify military and political decisions and operations taken by the regime during that period, sparking legal controversy over the responsibility of religious scholars for the outcomes of those fatwas and whether they were subjected to external pressures. Hassoun is currently being prosecuted for his role during that time, amid calls for holding all those responsible for violations accountable.
