Fatwa issued against Ringtones

[Andrew]

I think Shoemoney and a few other members here need to contact the Department of Homeland security to get one of those counter-terrorism grants.

"An imam at a Mosque in Saudi Arabia issued a fatwa against mobile phones after one rang during prayers on Saturday. A report in the local newspaper, Al-Watan said that the imam had begun the Taraweeh prayer (Taraweeh is an Arabic phrase referring to extra prayers given by Sunnis at night in the Islamic month of Ramadan) when the sound of Arabic pop music began playing from the audience."

I am confused. What are you trying to say? Sorry for my ignorance

Fatwa = "is a legal pronouncement in Islam made by a mufti, a scholar capable of issuing judgments on Sharia (Islamic law)"

Fatwa = "is a legal pronouncement in Islam made by a mufti, a scholar capable of issuing judgments on Sharia (Islamic law)"

just like ex-communication?

The fatwa states that the next time somebody allows their phone to go off in the congregation, the imam could throw the guilty person out of the mosque.

Man, that's getting almost as bad as high school teachers that confiscate cell phones! :ugone2far:
