Can someone clarify to me what a death fatwa is? and how is it valid? because I thought that there is no vigilante justice in Islam and that death sentences could only be issued after investigation by the courts in the ''Islamic State" which doesn't exist today..
I have tried to search this topic a lot on the internet, but most of the information I find is from anti-islam websites, I can't find any Islamic source that clarifies this issue.









Thanks in advance

Seriously? no replies?

I really wish Ansar Al Adl was still here, he's nearly the only one that actually makes beneficial posts.
 
A fatwa is nothing more and nothing less than a public opinion. Unless a fatwa is made by a true caliph in a true caliphate, there is no obligation to follow it. It is only a suggestion. Any body can make a fatwa. But the only true fatwas will come when a true Caliphate is established.

That also depends on pov, there is no clergy in Islam. Caliph depends, when there were Caliphs all people did not follow a ruling came from Caliphate. There were always disagreements. The least disagreements were in the time of first two Caliphs, after that there were disagreements, which reached a high point in the time of fourth Caliph. After that Caliphate was turned into something different, I don't want to exactly say dictatorship because there were ups and downs after that, it was not always dictatorship.
