Religious leaders in Pakistan reaffirm fatwa against terrorism

Religious scholars, spiritual leaders, and representatives of various faiths have unanimously reaffirmed a fatwa against suicide attacks, terrorism, and extremism. During a joint meeting organized by the National Paigham-e-Aman Committee and the Balochistan Paigham-e-Aman Committee in Quetta, participants endorsed the national narrative of Paigham-e-Pakistan.

The declaration stated that suicide attacks and the killing of innocent people are forbidden in Islam and contrary to the teachings of all religions. The leaders emphasized that no individual or group has the right to engage in bloodshed or armed actions against the state in the name of religion, sect, or ideology.

Participants strongly condemned the exploitation of women, children, and students for terrorist purposes, labeling such acts as crimes against humanity. The group also expressed support for the Pakistan Army and national security institutions in their efforts to combat terrorism and safeguard national stability.
