Well-known Islamic cleric, Sheik Ahmad
Gumi, this morning said that Friday’s
killing of nine women polio vaccine
workers in Kano confirms the presence of
terrorists among Nigerian Muslims who
are misinterpreting Islam and carrying
out evil acts.
In a statement sent through social
networks, monitored by SaharaReporters,
Gumi described the killings as a sad,
abominable, barbaric and evil. He blasted
the ‘scholars’ and politicians who
frighten the common people against
vaccinations and polio, describing them
as the true killers.
The cleric recalled that even in the old
Northern Nigeria, people were all
vaccinated against cholera, CSM,
smallpox, BCG, measles etc, and that
nobody raised any alarm at that time.
“How can then today, people that are
neither specialist in Islamic Law nor
specialist in Medical sciences go public
with such a fatwa in clear contradiction
of the Quran?” he asked. “It means the
Quran doesn’t pass through beyond their
throat. Let us assume, they have the rights
to their ijtihad, but that does not give
them the license to kill innocent people
that see otherwise? When do you kill
people on suspicion?”
He asserted that the killings incident
confirms there are true terrorists among
Muslims and that because of their
shallow understanding of Islam they have
turned out to the greatest enemy of Islam
and the prophet – alaihis Salam.
“In a Hadith the Prophet said there will
come a time – in the end of time- when
some youth who are apt to reciting the
Quran – but will not pass their throat-
will be killing Muslims. Today, you just
need to disagree with them, then you
become their hit target. Subhanallah! The
Ummah has to wake up from its slumber
and fish out these evil people. The prophet
– peace be upon him said: “if people will
see a transgressor and don’t clamp on his
two hands, Allah will soon engulf them
all with his chastisement” Abu dawud.
Only the people can cure this evil.”
Delving into the Koran, Sheik Gumi went
on: “Jabir narrated that “we went out on a
journey and a man among us was hit by a
stone which cracked his skull then he had
a wet dream to which he asked his
companions for fatwa whether there is
any ease or concession for him to perform
the sand ablution (tayammum). They
said: we don’t find for you any concession
so long you can use water. He then bathed
with water and died. Jabir said: when we
came back to the prophet –peace be upon
him- he was told about the incidence. He
said: they KILLED HIM, MAY ALLAH KILL
THEM! Why didn’t they ask if they don’t
know, for the only cure for ignorance in
inquiry. It would have been ok for him to
do the tayammum and bandaged his
wound then dry rub over it and wash the
rest of his body” Abu Dawud.”
“Those ‘scholars’ and politicans –I am
saying it without resevation- that
frighten the common people against
vaccinations and polio are the true
killers. Allah said: “When there comes to
them some matter touching (Public)
safety or fear, they divulge and spread it.
If they had only referred it to the
Messenger, or to those charged with
authority among them, the proper
investigators would have the knowledge
of it from them (direct). Were it not for
the Grace and Mercy of Allah unto you,
all but a few of you would have fallen
into the clutches of Satan.” Q3/83.
He stressed that only learned scholars and
specialists in every field of endeavor
should issue a fatwa, particularly in
specialized fields, noting that anyone
who issues a fatwa which leads to the
death of others is also directly responsible
for such death.
With reference to vaccinations, he said
that only experts in virology,
immunology, pediatrics, as well as
principles of Islamic jurisprudence,
working together, can give such a fatwa.
“So far, all the Muslims countries except
for some intellectually inconsequential
individuals or extremists organizations
have unanimously accepted the
vaccinations including polio as beneficial
in prevention and cure of disease,” he
said. “Prevention of disease and the
seeking of cure are entrenched in Islam.”
Quoting Prophet Muhammad, he said,
“Every disease has a cure so when the
medicine affects the disease the patient is
cured by the leave of Allah the Al-
mighty,”
Sheik Gumi drew attention to the
acceptability of vaccination in other
cultures. In Saudi Arabia, he said, it is a
prerequisite that a child present his 1st
year vaccination certificate before he is
registered in school. “With all the
scholars both Islamic and medical experts
in Egypt, there is no scholar of repute who
denies vaccination,” he stressed, adding
that many rich Nigerians now go to Egypt
for medical treatment.
