The UAE Fatwa Council denounced on Monday the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and urged Muslims to steer clear of the group.

This came during a regular meeting of the council held Monday via video conferencing and led by Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, chairman of the UAE Fatwa Council.

The meeting reviewed the statement of the Council of Senior Scholars of Saudi Arabia, which affirms that Sharia promotes unity and warns against division and rogue groups.

“The UAE Fatwa Council declared its full support for the Council of Senior Scholars' statement, which echoes the previous proclamations of the governments of the UAE and Saudi Arabia that consider the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, due to its support for violent extremist groups, disputes with leaderships, and disobedience,” WAM reported.

The Council called on all Muslims to denounce divisions and avoid supporting, sympathizing with, and joining organizations that aim to instigate divisions, conflicts, and bloodshed.

It reiterated that “it is not permissible to pledge allegiance to anyone other than the ruler,” and said the community should show “respect and commitment” to leaders.

The meeting further discussed a number of proposals and initiatives of interest for the next year.
