- Fatwa Date:1-4-2006
Who are Jehovah Witnesses and is it permissible to deal with them?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
Jehovah Witnesses is a secret organization, it appears as a Christian organization but in fact it is a Jewish one. It was founded in 1874 in America by the monk Charles Rassel. It was known as "The Doctrine of Rassell" and they are called "The New Bible Students", they were also known by the name "The Watch Tower Bible" and "Tract Society". Ultimately, they adopted the name Jehovah Witnesses. Jehovah is the God of the children of Israel, as it is mentioned in their Torah.
Among the beliefs of this organization is that to spread moral anarchy and abandon all human morals. They do not believe in the Hereafter, neither do they believe in reward and punishment, Paradise and Hellfire. They are very active in many parts of the world especially in Muslim countries. Some countries realized their danger so they prohibited their activities. They have many ways in spreading their mischief and plots in many countries and they cooperate with Jewish organizations which work under many denominations.
Therefore, Jehovah Witnesses are a very dangerous Jewish organization which takes the cover of Christianity and they are the enemies of Islam and the Muslims, they are like all other Jewish organizations so it is not permissible to deal with them.
Allaah Knows best.
