In some dialects and languages, the unrelated architectural term 'facade' is spelled 'fasad'.
| Template:Fiqh-CriTemplate:Islam-mini |
Fasad is an Arabic language term meaning corruption, unlawful warfare, or crimes against law and order in the Muslim community.[1] The Qur'an relates the term to actions during wartime that would qualify as.[1] In recent years, many Islamic thinkers have defined acts of terrorism by Muslims as "fasad" and anti-Islamic.[2][3][1]
Fasad is a general concept of social disorder that, within Islamic jurisprudence, is the source of and basis for 'Hirabah'-related laws. 'Hirabah' refers to illegal acts done under the principle of fasad.[4]
Appearances in the Koran
On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief/corruption in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
Interpretations relating to Terrorism
International Islamic University scholar M. Moniruzzaman defines the term as inculding both domestic and international terrorism as well as broader anti-social activities such as extortion, organized crime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.[1]
M.J. Akbar, editor of the Indian magazine Covert, has stated that, “Terrorism has no place in Islamic doctrine. The Koranic term for the killing of innocents is ‘fasad.’ Terrorists are fasadis, not jihadis. In a beautiful verse, the Koran says that the killing of an innocent is akin to slaying the whole community."[2] However,the scholars who lived around the time of the Prophet and the commentators of the Quran, did not have this view regarding fasad.
Interpretation according to Hadith and Tafsir
However, some people argue that the verse above is only reffering to the killing of Muslims only (because it was revealed when the son of Adam killed his brother, who was a believer), and that it is directed towards Jews (Children of Israel).
Early Islamic figures such as Sa'id ibn Jubayr (who lived at the time of the prophet), and commentator of the Quran (Who gives meadning of verses) has said:
He who allows himself to shed the blood of a Muslim, is like he who allows shedding the blood of all people. He who forbids shedding the blood of one Muslim, is like he who forbids shedding the blood of all people.
It is also reported that another one of the commentators of the Quran, Mujahid (student of Ibn Abbas) said while commenting on the verse:
He who kills a believing soul intentionally, Allah makes the Fire of Hell his abode, He will become angry with him, and curse him, and has prepared a tremendous punishment for him, equal to if he had killed all people, his punishment will still be the same
So the scholars beleive that what is really being said here, is that since at the time of Adam only 4 people existed on the planet, and one of them was killed, it is like all of mankind was killed [7]
Fatwa to kill satellite TV owners
Sheikh Saleh Al-Laheedan is chairman of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judiciary Council, said that it is allright to kill Sattelite TV Owners because they spread corruption Claiming that it is Fasad
"Those calling for fitna (sedition and immorality) and those who are able to prevent it but don’t, it is permissible to kill them".
"It is legitimate to kill those who encourage corruption in faith and action if their evil cannot be stopped by other penalties."
