Request for Military Intervention is Haram and a Crime
The official request from Siraj for the US military intervention and what followed that in terms of the European announcement for military intervention has made Libya a very hot arena, not only for the political struggle with all of its dangers but also to the military struggle and clash which is even more dangerous!!! It is a major crime that will yield the one behind it and those who participate in it disgrace in the life of this world and the punishment of the next:
﴿سَيُصِيبُ الَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا صَغَارٌ عِندَ اللَّـهِ وَعَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَمْكُرُونَ﴾
“There will afflict those who committed crimes debasement before Allah and severe punishment for what they used to conspire” [Al-An’aam: 124].
Verily Allah, Al-Qawwiy Al-Azeez (The All Mighty All Powerful) has made it Haraam for the disbelievers to have a way over the believers and seeking assistance by the disbelievers means giving them a way over the believers:
﴿وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللَّـهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا﴾
“And never will Allah give the disbelievers over the believers a way”[An-Nisaa: 141].
And verily Allah Al-Qawwiy Al-Jabbaar has made it Haraam to turn in alliance to the disbelievers and made the one who does so from the Munaafiqeen (hypocrites) who has a painful punishment:﴿بَشِّرِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا * الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكَافِرِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِن دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَيَبْتَغُونَ عِندَهُمُ الْعِزَّةَ فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّـهِ جَمِيعًا﴾“Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment. Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honour [through power]? But indeed, honour belongs to Allah entirely”[138-139].
The Messenger of Allah (saw) prohibited seeking assistance with the disbeliever: ‘Urwah related from ‘Aa’ishah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ» “We do not seek assistance with a Mushrik” recorded by Ad-Daarami in his Sunan… And At-Tabaraani in his Mu’jam Al-Kabeer related from Khubaib Bin Abdur Rahman, from his father, from his grandfather who said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: «فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ» “For verily we do not seek assistance with the Mushrikeen (polytheists and disbelievers)”… And Al-Haakim in his Mustadrak upon the two Saheehs recorded from AbiHumaid As-Saa’idiy (ra) that he said: «فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ» “For verily we do not seek assistance with the Mushrikeen (polytheists and disbelievers)”…
