THE REACTION OF FAMOUS MUSLIM EXPERTS IN ISLAMIC LAW ON PROCLAMATION OF ISLAMIC STATE

Abstract

On 29 June 2014, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the spokesman of The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL ) proclaimed Islamic Caliphate named "Islamic State" and declared Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri, who is also known as Abu Bakr al -Baghdadi, as caliph. At first glance it would seem that Muslims generally responded positively to the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate, but right after the proclamation of the Caliphate, Muslim lawyers made statements and fatwas, in which they expressed their harsh treatment towards the proclamation of the Islamic state, its ideology and terrorist activities. However, despite the fact that all these opinions were based on the numerous citations from Quran and hadiths, it can be stated they did not have any effect on IS leaders, members and supporters, and after all these letters and speeches we can state that there is no any positive change.
