Imagine raping 13-year-old girls on private islands and killing +153 schoolgirls in Iran, and still talking about "freedom for Iranian women." The audacity.
Sheikh Assim gives a sound opinion to Muslims who are still on the fence about Sunnis supporting Shias in Iran against Israel.
It's a no brainer, Israel is the enemy of Muslims, and of humanity!
❌ False: The claim that the Taliban have enacted new laws.
✅ What has been done is a codification. In other words, provisions that were already being applied have been compiled into a written legal text (the Criminal Procedure Code) in order to ensure legal clarity.
❌ False: The claim that slavery has been reinstated.
✅ The law states that its provisions apply to everyone without distinction between free and slave, male and female, Muslim and non-Muslim, adult and child.
The expression “free–slave” is a reference to the classical Islamic legal principle of “generality.”
It is a legal formula emphasizing that no one is exempt before the law and that the law applies to everyone without exception.
❌ False: The claim that beating women and family members has been made permissible.
✅ According to the published legal text, if a husband beats and injures his wife, it constitutes a crime punishable by imprisonment.
Furthermore, except in exceptional legal justifications such as legitimate self-defense, the intentional killing of a woman or a man is punishable by qisas (capital punishment).
❌ False: The claim that scholars have the privilege to commit crimes or are exempt from punishment.
✅ In serious crimes requiring “hudud” punishments—such as theft, adultery, false accusation (slander), alcohol consumption, and highway robbery, everyone including scholars, is subject to the same rulings. Only in discretionary offenses (ta’zir), which are left to the judge’s discretion, is a warning procedure provided for at the initial stage.
❌ False: The claim that a married woman will be sentenced to three months in prison for visiting relatives without permission.
✅ The penalty does not apply for visiting relatives. It applies if a woman leaves the family home without a legitimate reason and, despite her husband’s request and the court’s order to “return,” refuses to go back. In such a case, up to three months’ imprisonment may be imposed on the woman or on those preventing her return.
❌ False: The claim that society has been divided into classes and that punishments are determined according to a person’s status (class).
✅ A practice similar to the principle of “individualization of punishment,” which also exists in modern legal systems, is applied. The judge may increase or decrease the sentence within legal limits by considering the defendant’s background, social relations, level of remorse, and behavior after the act. This is not class discrimination but judicial discretion.
❌ False: The claim that girls’ education has been completely banned.
✅ The text of the law contains no reference to this matter.
❌ False: The claim that hairdressers and barbers will be shut down.
✅ The text of the law contains no reference to this matter either.
👉 ASSESSMENT: The source of the allegations targeting the new legal regulations in Afghanistan is the Saudi Arabia–based Al Hadath channel. The claims published on this channel are translated and circulated in other media channels as well.
