A Fatwa issued by Al-Lajnah Ad-Adā'imah relevant to the Abrahamic House [Fatwa No. 19402]

All praises belong to Allāh alone, and may peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no Prophet, upon his family, Companions and those who followed them in goodness until the Day of Judgment. To proceed: The Standing Committee for scholarly Research and Ifta has reviewed the questions presented to them and the articles that have been published in the media regarding the call to 'unity of religions'; namely the religions of Al-Islām, Judaism, and Christianity, and what extends from that from the call to build a mosque, church and a temple in one vicinity; within open spaces inside universities, airports and public squares, and the call to print the Noble Qur’ān, the Torah and the Bible all as one book, and the rest of the issues related to this call, as well as the establishment of conferences, seminars and organisations in the East and West. After careful consideration and research, the committee has decided the following: Firstly: One of the principles of beliefs in Islām that is known to be from the religion by necessity and concerning which the Muslims are unanimously agreed is that: there is no true religion on the face of the earth except the religion of Islām, and that it is the final religion, abrogating all previous religions, faiths and legislations, so there is no religion left on the face of the earth by which Allāh is worshipped except Islām. Allāh Almighty said (translated meaning): “Certainly, the religion with Allāh is Islam.” [Sūrah Āl-’Imrān: 19] Secondly: From the principles of belief in Islām is that the Book of Allāh Almighty (The Noble Qur'ān) is the final Book of Allāh to be sent down and the last to have come from the Lord of the Worlds, and that it abrogates all Books that were revealed before; from the Torah, Zabur, the Bible, etc., and that it is a supreme authority over them... Thirdly: It is obligatory to believe that the Torah and the Bible have both been abrogated by the Holy Qur’ān, and that both have been distorted and altered by means of addition and subtraction, as mentioned in Āyāt from Allāh's Holy Book (the Qur'ān). Fourthly: From the principles of belief in Islām is that our Prophet and Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers. Fifthly: From the principles of Islām is that it is obligatory to believe that everyone who does not enter into Islām from among the Jews, Christians and other than them, that such a person is a disbeliever and he is called a Kāfir...and that he is an enemy of Allāh, His Messenger and the believers, and that he is one of the people of Hellfire (if he dies in that state). Sixthly: In the face of these fundamental beliefs and legislative facts, the call to 'unity of religions', establishing harmony between them and fusing them into one, is a wicked and malicious call whose purpose is to mix truth with falsehood, destroy Islam and undermine its pillars, and drag its people to mass apostasy. Seventhly: One of the results of this wicked call is to abolish the differences between Islām and Kufr, truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and breaking the barrier of disaffection between the Muslims and the disbelievers, such that there is no more allegiance and disallegiance, no more jihad or fighting to uphold Allāh's statement (لا إله إلا الله) on Allāh's land (earth). Eighthly: If the call to 'unity of religions' occurs from a Muslim, then this is considered an explicit apostasy from the religion of Islām; because it clashes with the principles of belief; whereby a person is pleased with disbelief in Allāh, negating the truthfulness of the Qur’ān and its abrogation of all the previous laws and religions, and accordingly it is an ideology that is rejected by the Sharī‘ah and prohibited by all the evidences of Islamic legislation; namely the Qur’ān, Sunnah and consensus. Ninthly: Based on the above:
