Awwal 13, 1432 H/Feb 16, 2011, SPA -- Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Al-Shiekh, the Kingdom's Mufti and Chairman of the Senior Ulema, Religious Research Administration and Ifta Standing Committee, today refuted as categorically false lies and forged statement a web report that the Committee has issued a Fatwa describing Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda organization as on the right track and that Al-Qaeda is an Islamic Caliphate system. In a statement, Al Al-Shiekh cited a number of verses from the holy Quran and sayings of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) showing that lying in the name of senior Ulema is itself a capital crime. The statement called for severe punishment on those who spread such lies.
