![]() | A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 9, 2020. |
This paragraph was recently added to the introduction. I modified the end of the paragraph which was clearly POV ("wow effect", "definitely", if citation, should be in quotes). In fact, I'm not sure the paragraph itself should stay: it's badly written (.. as it's to modernized .. ??) and the essential information is already available in the previous paragraph where it's said that al-Qaradawi served as consultant scholar for an epic movie about the Prophet. Someone else before me tried to remove the entire paragraph before being told off for vandalism. I believe it would be good to have someone dedicated to this page and aware of WP rules to have a look. Thibaut Lienart ( talk) 19:18, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
This paragraph should be displaced from the introduction to some other part of the article, since the film was supposed to air in 2018 according to 2015 news sources, and there has been no anglophone media coverage since then (see my edit request /info/en/?search=Talk:Yusuf_al-Qaradawi#Extended-confirmed-protected_edit_request_on_8_October_2018). It could be included in a renamed "Books" or "Major works" section. Cheers, Fa suisse ( talk) 00:30, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
There is no valid source for the following statement: "In 2004, 2,500 Muslim academics from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and from the Palestinian territories condemned Qaradawi, and accused him of giving "Islam a bad name". There are news articles online which mention this letter but I cannot find the actual letter online or the 2,500 signatories. Unless the actual letter with a list of signatories can be found, I think this is an unreliable statement and should be removed. Jamal ( talk) 06:16, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
The content of the article is mostly OK, but it could use some serious editing. The wording is downright weird from place to place, and maybe a bit POV too. 82.181.54.181 ( talk) 13:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC) Major rewrite of entire article done.

I did a minor edit to the part where it said he describes Shi'a as liars and treacherous. The reference was a MEMRI translation [1] of a poem the Sheikh had posted up on his website [2]. However, the translation was inaccurate as the poem mentions the Batiniya (also known Hashshashin by Europeans) as being treacherous and not the Shia sect as a whole. The Hashshashin, according to the Wiki article, are a small part of Shia who had allied with the crusaders during that era against Muslims. Also according to the reference of Sheikh Yusif describing Shia as liars [3], he explicitly uses the word 'mobtadi'oon' which in Arabic means deviating from the correct path rather than lying. Blackise ( talk) 10:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
The article states that the "Iranian News Agency" has labeled Al-Qaradawi as "a spokesman for 'international Freemasonry and rabbis'". However, I cannot find any reference on the internet for an organization called the "Iranian News Agency". In fact, "Iranian News Agency" is not even on wikipedia's
List of Iranian news agencies. Furthermore, a google search of the phrase “international Freemasonry and rabbis" only returns other articles referring to this same claim. Can anyone find the original article where Al-Qaradawi is called "a spokesman for 'international Freemasonry and rabbis'"? Seems like this is a fabricated quote.

I have removed the Pokemon fatwa as the reference could not be found on the CNN page or any other news page. The only thing I found was a BBC report about Saudi banning Pokemon but nothing to do with Sheikh Yusif.
Also the views held Saudi clerics does not accurately reflect Sheikh Yusif's opinion on the matter. In an email fatwa, -I presume- Sheikh Yusif is quoted to say "As for some words which people claim that the program contains, like a statement 'I'm a Jew' or 'Be a Jew', and so on, this still remains controversial, as some Japanese have denied that, so we cannot make any judgment on something as controversial as this."

I changed
Qaradawi was denied entry to Britain because of a fatwa which he gave stating that small amounts of alcohol were acceptable to Muslims [4].
to:
Qaradawi issued a fatwa in recent months stating that the consumption of small amounts of alcohol (<0.5% concentration) was acceptable for Muslims [5].
and discovered afterwards that a similar edit had already been made and reverted. The cited BBC article states:
Yusuf al-Qaradawi's fatwa says a level of 0.5% is allowed, whereas most Muslims would say alcohol of any quantity is banned.
Sheikh Qaradawi was recently refused entry to Britain as the UK government said his views could spark violence.
The article could be read to imply the two are connected, but unless I'm seriously mistaken that isn't the case. The article on his VISA refusal starts [6]:
The controversial Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi has been refused a visa to visit Britain.
The Home Office said the UK would not tolerate the presence of those who seek to justify acts of terrorist violence.
Eth ( talk) 10:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
By the way, what type of FGM Qaradawi said he prefers? If the following,
Type I, "clitoridotomy" or "hoodectomy" (also sunna circumcision, after Islamic tradition) is the most limited and involves the removal or splitting of the clitoral hood. This type of female circumcision is most comparable to male circumcision. When practiced for non-religious reasons, it is usually an elective surgery intended to enhance the sexual sensitivity of the clitoris, and considered only in cases where the hood is overgrown or cannot be retracted.
Type I circumcisions (for sexual reasons) are openly available in the USA"
If even the US hasn't banned Type I, and if that's the one that Qaradawi prefers, how does that make him a "dark force"? Or is the US also a dark force? OneGuy 09:45, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
MathKnight, on cooler reflection I will try to assume the best of you and believe that you somehow accidentally missed Qaradawi's response to the Iraq endorsement claims, despite reading far enough through the MEMRI article to reach both the other clerics' section and the "Elaph" bit near the end. But what phialism) as the introductory sentence you attempted to insert? ThinkPink's reversion was entirely understandable, although even his versiossible excuse can there be for such blatant POV (not to mention parocon was by no means fully NPOVed. - Mustafaa 17:08, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I removed, and would like to see a source for, the dubious claim that "the vast majority" of poorly received Qaradawi translations have been disseminated by "Jewish and Zionist groups". Most in this article are from Islamonline, and one is from MEMRI. If you are referring to MEMRI, then be specific. This article also needs some structural changes. I have no problem with some explanatory comments regarding Qaradawi statements that may have been misinterpreted, but the present format, with a lengthy unsourced "explanation" after each comment, looks like a pro-Qaradawi "talking points" pamphlet. Babajobu 16:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
The following section expressed doubt about the text as translated on Qaradawi's own website, and provides support for a liberal view of Islam's position on this matter. This, however, has nothing to do with Qaradawi. I kept Qaradawi's next sentence in the article, as that actually bears on the man himself, and not on the contributor's musings on Islam. Babajobu 18:34, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
al-Qaradawi is an eloquent speaker and writer of the Arabic language as is well-known across the Arab-Muslim world, and attested to the by the fact that he is known not only as an islamic jurisprudent but also as a poet, with published verse to his name. The author of the above translation of al-Qaradawi's answer is anything but eloquent. With Arabic being as different as it is from English, it is important for those interested in al-Qaradawi's ideas to make sure that he is being translated accurately. Unfortunately, since the original Arabic of al-Qaradawi's answer is not given on the Islam Online website, there is no way of ascertaining the adequacy or otherwise of this translation. It is, however, an incontrovertible fact that Islamic inheritance laws, as derived from a combination of the Qur'an, Hadith and other sources of law, do give equal shares to female relatives in a number of situations, and in a number actually give a greater share to female relatives. In yet other situations, while each female relative who receives a share receives less than any given male, the total number of females who inherit is greater than the number of males. These situations are not 'ideas' rejected by al-Qaradawi but established points of islamic law which no scholar of islam can or does deny. Furthermore, the fact that traditional Islamic inheritance laws grant lesser shares to females than males in certain situations is not left unexplained by al-Qaradawi.
The following sections include two quotes, both of which are contested and neither of which are at the links provided. Leave them here, with their "explanation' rebuttals (which seem more devoted to defending Islam than discussing Qaradawi), and wait to see if they can be sourced. I'd also note that rants about the perfidious Western media (of which Wikipedia is part) apparently include India among "Western" states, as much of the same material can be found in Indian papers as in European or American ones. Babajobu 18:54, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
* Like most Muslim scholars, he rejects the idea of separation of state and church. "Since Islam is a comprehensive system of `Ibadah (worship) and Shari`ah (legislation), the acceptance of secularism means abandonment of Shari`ah, a denial of the Divine guidance and a rejection of Allah’s injunctions. (...) the call for secularism among Muslims is atheism and a rejection of Islam. Its acceptance as a basis for rule in place of Shari`ah is a downright apostasy." [7]
Explanation. The link provided leads to a fatwa which does not contain the quotation that has been attributed. However, assuming the quotation is correct albeit missourced, it establishes no more than that al-Qaradawi opposes secularism, in common with innumerable thinkers, eastern and western, muslim and non-muslim. It does not show him to be an opponent of democracy, something he has long supported as can be seen from a large number of his books, including 'al-Siyasa al-Shar'iyya' and 'Majmu' al-Fatawa'. And, as stated in the remarks prefatory to the quotation, this is the position of most muslim scholars. Most of al-Qaradawi's legal views are in line with the majority of muslim scholars and those that aren't, though they may be on salient issues, are nonetheless divergent precisely in so far as they are more liberal and progressive. This is scarcely contestible for those directly acquainted with his Arabic works, or even those who watch his regular television programmes, making the fact that he appears to have been singled out by certain lobby groups, and in turn by certain western media outlets, a cause for great concern on the part of muslims, in particular reform-minded and progressive muslims in the West.
- He says that "the Shari`ah cannot be amended to conform to changing human values and standards, rather, it is the absolute norm to which all human values and conduct must conform ..." [8]; some opponents argue that this rather orthodox Islamic viewpoint rules out the possibility of a secular democracy, insofar as it restricts what believing Muslims may vote for.
Explanation. The link provided leads not to anything written by al-Qaradawi but by the totally unrelated 'Salim al-Hasi'. Moreover, the page that has been linked to contains no such quotation. What it does contain shows a muslim scholar (in common with all other muslim scholars, and indeed muslims who have even a basic understanding of islamic jurisprudence) expressing a point of view in direct contradiction to the one 'quoted'. He says: "Many non-Muslims, however, think that the Shari`ah is mainly a collection of fixed ancient laws that belong to a time other than ours. On the contrary, Muslim scholars agreed on the fact that applying the Shari`ah requires two essential types of understanding. These two types are; understanding the sources from which the rules are derived, the Qur’an and the Sunnah (the traditions of the prophet), and understanding the reality in which these rules are applicable. Hence, the application of the Shari`ah is not in a vacuum; rather it is in a reality that is changeable due to time and space."
Examples such as these are sufficient in the minds of those Muslims who have direct access to al-Qaradawi's words and works in their original Arabic, or a good understanding of the methodology and substantive content of islamic legal scholarship, to establish that al-Qaradawi's image in the western media has been tarnished by a concerted disinformation campaign whose essential source and motivation is political.
Karl... you removed modern... and while I don't think it matters to the article that is incredibly overzealous. He is a modern Muslim theologian because he lives in the modern age... it's not POV at all. There are classical, medieval and modern Muslims theologians... he's modern.... really man. Why did you think that was POV? gren グレン 10:55, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
My opinion... some of that paragraph must be re-worded... he does not advocate "light beating of women"... it's in specific circumstances... so at least cite that about it, (after they don't listen and bed is not shared, etc). Also, better sources would be nice... but, this article isn't the best sourced in the first place... and it definitely should not all be deleted. But clarify, he does put limits on suicide bombings if I have remembered what I read correctly... so, don't generalize Babajobu and both of you, help to fix it. gren グレン 17:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
I rewrote the paragraph on "Secular opposition" and reinserted it with new links. As I said, I didn't write the original one. Babajobu 09:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
like the one that I've just cut from the article, really need to be sourced reliably. (Providing a source would also clear up the ambiguity of which views, exactly, this supposed vast majority agrees with.) — Charles P. (Mirv) 06:42, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
His opinions do not reflect those of all Muslims, as most Muslims today would be loath to attest to the fact that Muslims should:
1. not donate organs to "apostates," ie, Muslims who leave the faith, for the are deserving of death. He also says Muslims should give organs to Muslims over non-Muslims and offers weak and misinterpreted Quranic evidence "By the same token, it is not permissible to donate it to an apostate as he is no more than a traitor to his religion and his people and thus deserves killing. " http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544408
2. circumsize their daughters if they feel it necessary. “whoever finds it serving the interest of his daughters should do it, and I personally support this under the current circumstances in the modern world.” http://www.islamonline.net/fatwa/english/FatwaDisplay.asp?hFatwaID=31397
3. force women to wear the hijab “It is unanimously agreed upon among Muslim scholars that it is not lawful for a Muslim woman to uncover any part of her body other than the face and hands (and the feet according to some schools of jurisprudence). Hence, it is unlawful for a woman to reveal her hair, or arms, or chest or legs before non-mahram men. Wearing clothes that reveal such parts of a woman’s body is completely forbidden. A Muslim husband is to order his wife to wear hijab.” http://www.islamonline.net/fatwa/english/FatwaDisplay.asp?hFatwaID=108163
The list continues and sadly gets worse, not better. Someone interested should visit this website, operated by the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (with whom I personally have absolutely no connection), but who offer quotes from al-Qaradawi's own website. http://www.galha.org/briefing/qaradawi.html

Two cents for you: al Qaradawi has been trying to smuggle in a measure, and note only a measure, of modernity into Islamist discourse. Let me just say that this is an EXTREMELY DIFFICULT thing to do. To that end, he deserves some credit and definitely does not deserve to be called "a horrible human being." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 ( talk) 15:04, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
First of all, I'd like to say that the above comment is false. Just follow the links provided and read the articles. Getting to the point, this article says that Shaykh Faraz Rabbani is an Islamic scholar; however, if you read his biography, he is actually a student and, to my knowledge, not a very well-established authority on Islamic affairs. Shaykh Faraz seems to be popular on Wikipedia articles on Islam, somehow. However, please investigate the matter appropriately and change the article accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.219.122 ( talk) 10:10, 20 May 2006

The article does not provide any citation or backing for the repeated assertions that MEMRI is an offshoot of Israeli intelligence. The closest thing i can find is a Guardian opinion essay that identifies one of the founders of MEMRI as a former Israeli intelligence officer: Guardian piece on MEMRI
However, this Guardian article hardly has a NPOV, though MEMRI may not either. Does this justify the assertion (which evidences and evinces a strong bias, I feel) made throughout the article? Until better support is added, I am deleting those claims as unverifiable and possibly violating NPOV.

Before they realized that the description disputed their neutrality and removed it from their website, it was archived on web.archive.org, [9] where they described their IDF intelligence officers team in detail :
- Col. (Res.) Yigal Carmon is MEMRI’s President. He served in the IDF/Intelligence Branch from 1968 to 1988.
- Yotam Feldner is MEMRI’s Director of Media Analysis. He was born in Kibbutz Gazit, Israel and served in the IDF in Military Intelligence where he acquired fluency in Arabic and familiarity with Arab media.
- Aluma Solnick is a Research Associate with MEMRI. She was born in Jerusalem and served in the IDF in Military Intelligence.
NMKuttiady ( talk) 13:04, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
There is little doubt that MEMRI is strongly in favour of Israel. However, this issue here is whether or not its translations are reliable. So far, no evidence has been presented that its translations are inaccurate. ( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 00:47, 1 March 2010 (UTC))
Actually, the MEMRI article in wikipedia has an entire section about MEMRI translation entitled "Translation inaccuracy" and quotes instances where Zionism was replaced by Judaism in translation. USferdinand ( talk) 10:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The "too many quotations for an encyclopedic entry" template has been here for quite a while and it's probably about time this was fixed. In addition, the articl itself is a big mess of his opinions and such. Decided what quotes to keep and what to remove will be a long discussion. For the time being, it may make things easier if we can get all the quotations and personal views into one section and then decide what to narrow down in that one section.
What I am proposing is to put the article from section five ("His views of Sufism") down to section sixteen ("Fatwa controversy with MEMRI") into just one big section and trim that down. Does anyone take issue with this?

Apparently, the section that covered his undemocratic positions has been removed. This is blatant censorship. I did not find any explanation for this removal in the discussion section. Moreover, this section was intensively sourced with direct uotes from Qaradawi! I will re-insert this section. -- Rudi Dierick 23:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
However, his statements and positions have been criticized as essentially incompatible with democracy, or even contrary to democracy. The reasons for this criticism can be easily understood from following statements, all taken from some of Qaradawi's fatwa's:
The following sections are systematically removed by menzoMenzo. he refuses that these literal statements from Al-Qaradawi are mentionned, and even less that they're criticiszed:
He personally prefers removal of part of the genital organs (female genital mutilation, 'FGM', [[5]), though he admits it's not obligatory in Islam. FGM is being considered by the United Nations Organization and many countries as a severe crime, mutilation. In several countries as Canada, just the risk of FGM is already sufficient reason for granting political asylum to the young women and their families. (See also: Female Circumcision Not Obligatory: Qaradawi). See http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503548446 for Qaradawi's fatwa that FGM that is harmful to women is not permissible.
What do the other contributors thing about those statements from Qaradawi?-- Rudi Dierick ( talk) 15:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Regarding the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusuf_al-Qaradawi , I clicked on the link to Islam Online (within the text under "Religious Edicts Fatwas") that has the URL www.Islam-Online.net, and the first time I did I got an attempted drive-by download and a redirect of my browser page to PCclean or something named like that (PC something). The second third and fourth times I've tried I haven't had any problems and the Islam-online.net is resolving to IslamOnline.net. The linked web page itself seem fine right now, I just wanted to mention the weird activity on my first trying of it.

No one has responded yet in regard to fixing up this article, so I figured i'd take the initiative of suggesting how this article could be trimmed down. My first suggestion involves the creation/consolidation of two new sections: "Views" and "Controversy and Criticism".
For the section on his views, I suggest we move the following sections/subsections in:
Now, I am not suggesting that this be the final version because simply moving the sections would still leave it bloated. I am just making this suggestion to get all of the sections about his views into one place. The same goes for the section on controversy and criticism, for which I suggest we consolidate the following sections:
For the section on his religious edicts, I suggest it actually be deleted as not only does it simply restate information already mentioned in the article, but it is also unreferenced; simply putting up a link to his site doesn't actually support the statements in the section.
In regard to the section on his popularity, I suggest that we leave it as is.
I am brining this here because I am looking for some feedback and, ideally, others who are willing to help me on this task. Once we get past this hump and find an agreed upon version of the article I think the next discussion should be addressing the article's length and the excess of quotes.

In the Terrorism section, the author has discussed Qaradawi's views on killing Muslim and non-Muslim civilians. As evident from one of the quotes, Qaradawi does not favor such killings in normal, out-of-war circumstances. However, the issue here is: what if some Muslims are taken hostages or used as Human Shields. In this case, Qaradawi thinks: "... killing innocent Muslims, being used as human shields by the enemy, is permissible. He considers the sacrifice of a few Muslims, in order to save the entire Muslim community, as a legitimate tactic."
The author(s) of the article write later in at the end of the Terrorism section: "However, the statements made by al-Qaradhawi are not true to the ethics of Islamic military jurisprudence. The killing of innocents, regardless their beliefs, is prohibited in Islamic law. Therefore, sacrificing the lives of few Muslims is prohibited as well as the killing of non-Muslims civilans. Hence, al-Qaradhawi's ideology is incorrect to the Islamic principles."
I have added a [citation needed] note here twice. Because there isn't any citation to show that the Islamic military jurisprudence is against killing of Muslims who are being used as Human Shields. Remember, we are not talking about Islamic jurisprudence about killing of Muslims in general circumstances. So there needs to be a citation with respect to the special circumstances discussed here, i.e. when being used as Human Shield.
Actually, sometime in history, it happened that a non-Muslim force attacked Muslims (probably their city or country) and used some Muslim hostages as Human Shields. At that time, battles were fought through swords and forces attacked each other using a human wave attack. So the non-Muslims forced the Muslim hostages to walk ahead of their front line, so that Muslim archers will not attack them with arrows, fearing that the arrows would kill the Muslim hostages walking ahead of the enemies.
To tackle this situation, Muslims scholars had to come up with something. Otherwise, there would be many problems: 1)all the archers would become useless, 2) enemies will reach Muslims without being hurt, 3) more enemies would take Muslim hostages and this practice would become a norm.
Hence, the scholars gave this ruling: It is permissible to kill innocent Muslims, if they are used as Human Shields. However, the condition was that when Muslim archers throw arrows at the enemies (who have Muslims in front of them), the archers will make their intentions (in their heart) to kill the non-Muslim forces behind the Muslims hostages. In this situation, if Muslims are hurt or killed, the archers would not be liable or blamed. Otherwise, enemies would infiltrate Muslim forces and would kill (or take hostage) the whole city, leave alone the initial Muslim hostages that were used as Human Shields.
Since I haven't got a citation for it yet, I haven't deleted the paragraph from the original article. But I will try to get the reference, although it would probably be in Arabic books. Affanlaghari ( talk) 09:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Such as his ruling that women can disregard family authority, and go unveiled in public, only if they're about to commit a suicide terrorism attack [11] (so it seems that Qaradawi is only a feminist in the context of suicide terrorism!), and his apparent approval of terrorist attacks which kill Jewish children in Israel, on the grounds that such children might grow up to be soldiers [12]...

Currently this article relies heavily from MEMRI links. These links need to be backed up by reliable sources. MEMRI is a disputed source, where some sources suggest MEMRI is reliable, other sources say it is not. So if something that MEMRI states is backed up by a more reliable source, then we can include it. Otherwise, so long as Qaradawi is alive, we may not. VR talk 20:11, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
With all due respect, I suggest you take a look at this section MEMRI#Accusations_of_bias more closely.
There are only ta handful of specific cases cited that apparently involve mistranslations (one from a 2007 children's program, another involves several essays written in 2002 by Professor Halim Barakat, and a third from a 2000 translation of an interview given by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to al-Ahram al-Arabi). These three cases, while notable, certainly do not mean that every translation made by MEMRI is inaccurate, doctored, or selectively edited. MEMRI has translated thousands of videos and articles, nearly all of which are not disputed by even their critics.
In fact, most of this section is simply polemics against MEMRI (usually accusing them of being Nazi propagandaists) that have little substance behind them. Also, the critics include such people as Juan Cole, a radical university professor, Brian Whitaker, a columnist for The Guardian who, based on the articles he has written that are posted on his website is hardly an impartial observer, and of course, Norman Finkelstein, who has described Israel as "a lunatic state" and has opined that he believes Israel "...has come out of the boils of the hell, a satanic state."
I'd also point out that almost none of this criticism is taken from mainstream sources. Rather, much of it is taken from blogs, editorials, and far-left news websites.
In conclusion, labelling MEMRI as inaccurate or unreliable based on a handful of mistranslated cases and the opinions of people who clearly despise Israel (e.g. Norman "satanic state" Finkelstein) is difficult to accept. I suggest that unless a specific translation is in question (as in the 3 cited examples), MEMRI can be considered a reliable source as long as it is cited as the source of the translation.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 23:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC))
Again, MEMRI is cited as the source for this quotes - MEMRI is not depicted as the gospel truth. Please do not remove material unless you have a source that indicates (or at least alleges) that the translation is incorrect.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 05:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Maybe we should leave it up, since it is in the form of an accusation. I think the arguments on both sides are pretty clear. I do suspect that there was more content in the clip that MEMRI did not want us to see. Nevertheless it is presented as an accusation not as a well known fact. So I think we should leave it up as an accusation and cite the Jerusalem Post(not any of the other sources Hyperionsteel linked to).

I'm just curious VR, in the above debate, you (rather arrogantly) stated that "honestly speaking, Hyperionsteel, even you know that MEMRI is likely wrong on this issue." Now that I've provided additional sources, do you still think that MEMRI's translation of Qaradawi's praise for Adolf Hitler and his call for a second Holocaust at the hands of the believers (I wonder who they could be?) is incorrect or has been manipulated? Or do you now at least consider the possibility that MEMRI's translation is in fact accurate? ( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 03:44, 4 July 2012 (UTC))
What this article needs is more analysis, especially by reliable third party sources, and less quotes from TV shows, MEMRI, etc.
For example, consider the following article by Economist: Try to be nice about each other. It is balanced, as it covers both Qaradawi calling Shi'ites as "heretics", as well as his support for Iran. This gives an accurate picture of what Qaradawi's views really are, with respect to Shi'ites.
We need more of such sources in the article. VR talk 20:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
The quotes have been included because they are notable due to their explicit and controversial content. For example, he praises Adolf Hitler and Holocaust as " divine punishment" and calls for Allah to "kill them, down to the very last one". These are certainly notable positions which Qaradawi has made on international televised speeches and prayers. It true that they don't cast him in a very positive light (people who pray for genocide against Jews tend to be viewed unfavorably) but that alone is not a reason to surpress this information and whitewash his views.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 21:57, 13 February 2011 (UTC))
I apologize if my above statements were interpreted as a personal attack. I believe that you are acting in good faith and it was not my intention to make you feel threatened. I take isssues like this very seriously, and I believe that MEMRI in this case is a reliable source, as it is taken from an internationally televised program. You have noted that MEMRI has made a few questionable translations in the past, but each of these was proven with a specific source and criticism. These statements on Jews have never been questioned by anyone (as far as I can tell) for their accuracy or context and there is no reason to believe that they are misrepresented. Again, I'm sorry if I came off as rude earlier, but I take statements that call for genocide against Jews very seriously and I may have overreacted.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 13:44, 17 February 2011 (UTC))
What kind of democracy does this man defends if he defends, at the same time, the execution of gays and the female genital mutilation? Certianly what he defends IS NOT what the Western World tradionally defines as electoral democracy, so maybe it should be put on the article somehow.
Probably the same kind of democracy that has institutionalized sodomy as punishment for those in prison and fails to persecute rapists on a scale that is absurd. This isn't the place for your personal comments. If he's spoken in favor of democracy in the "Muslim world" and he is against democratic measures, that makes him a hypocrite. 70.243.117.53 ( talk) 22:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I added the POV tag.
I think there are a couple of major issues which need to be resolved.
To start with is this quote:
I don't think that calling for the "protection/oppression" of non-Muslims under the Dhimmi laws, speaks at all to their "importance". And I cannot find a quote which says this in the reference.
Secondly, there are repeated cherry picked quotes from his writing with no RS to back them up. Here's one example.
Once again, I can't find any RS which says Qaradawi supports religious liberties, including the right for a Muslim to leave their religion.
The fatwa ( http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&cid=1178724001992&pagename=Zone-English-Living_Shariah/LSELayout#ixzz1EpIjNnVj) does indeed distinguish between major and minor apostasy, but the difference is that minor apostates should be punished, but not executed.
Third, clearly Witness-pioneer.org is not a NPOV site. Their homepage describes their mission as "Spreading the message of Islam". So, we have to be very careful in not using any of their opinions as fact.
Here's one example:
"Al-Qaradawi has strongly pressed for dialogue with Non-Muslims."
I can't imagine that witness-pioneer is NPOV enough for us to use them as a source for such claims.
I'm hesitant to start deleting major parts of this page, but I do think we need a major cleanup of it.
Thoughts?
-- Bob drobbs ( talk) 23:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
A simple search of the Library of Congress book catelog reveals a lot of material by Qaradawi. The only problem is that most of it is in Arabic. So we would need a speaker to translate it with full context and the Arabic quote, since we can't just depend on one speaker who may not even be completely qualified

The entire section on rape has just been deleted. The section was based upon a claim, that he led a panel which came to certain conclusions. That's hardly proof that these are his views. Especially in a living person biography.
So, I fully support removing it.
The question is if his better documented views on rape (and abortion for that matter) are noteworthy enough to make it into the article. While his views are fucked up on some topics (my opinion only), he's far more liberal than many American Christians when it comes to abortion.
"In the first place, any woman who is raped is not guilty of any sin, for the situation is beyond her control.
"Young Muslim men should hasten to marry women such as these who have been tormented, so as to reduce their suffering and console them, to compensate them for the loss of the most precious thing that they possess, which is their virginity."
"... there are some jurists who think that it is permissible to have an abortion within the first forty days of pregnancy. Some of them even permit it until before the soul is breathed into the embryo.
"Undoubtedly raping a Muslim woman by an evil enemy is a strong reason for the victim and for her family to have an abortion, for she will hate this fetus, the result of this iniquitous attack, and she will want to get rid of it. So this dispensation is to be given because of necessity, especially in the first days of the pregnancy. But this case of necessity should be determined by religious scholars, doctors and people of wide experience and wisdom. Otherwise, the original rule (of prohibition) should be applied."

The POV dispute has not been discussed for over a month. So I want to consult with users to see if they think it is still valid. In any case we should try to resolve it.
If everyone agrees with me that there isn't much to dispute than I will remove it(assuming that someone didn't already}.

I've removed the source for the information in the Jews section, the link leads to an article that doesn't exist: http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout&cid=1209357181004
Now it appears to me that there are no sources for his quotes on his views on the Jews. Where exactly have they been taken from? Jonacker ( talk) 17:16, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Well, we know his views on the Zionists (e.g. suicide bombers should kill pregnent mothers because their children will be soldiers etc.), I don't believe his views on the Jews in general are as favourable as they are presented here.
But seriously, some verifiability would be nice, islamonline doesn't strike me as a particularly reliable source if their online archive articles sometimes "disappear" 132.185.144.122 ( talk) 17:38, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
I've removed all the references to witness-pioneer.org, since the site doesn't exist anymore. I gather, from the Template:Citation_needed page that poorly sourced contentious material should be removed, but being a newbie I'm not clear whether this applies here since the source apparently did exist at some point and the material is not necessarily contentious. But this is the second dodgy source I've found in this article (see my previous comment). I'll put the citation needed tag up for now. Shame about that - those were all the quotes that made him sound reasonable... Jonacker ( talk) 23:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Are we sure that al-Qaradawi said that people who commit homosexual acts should be stoned, as the Wikipedia article currently asserts? It all depends on the Arabic words he used. If he said the punishment should be the same as those who commit zinnah, then it's 100 lashes for those who are unmarried and stoning to death for those who are married. That's not the same as saying ALL homosexuals should be stoned. 70.243.117.53 ( talk) 22:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Does a more substantial clip exist than the 43 seconds provided by MEMRITV? How were these remarks introduced? What did he say immediately afterwards? Was Qaradawi summarizing the thoughts of another writer/thinker like Qutb? We've seen that trick before from MEMRI. It is straightforward about its pro-Israel propaganda goals, and has a notoriously unreliable record on these matters. Haberstr ( talk) 07:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
The article in the Daily Telegraph [17] does quote the panel as stating that "A panel, headed by Mr al-Qaradawi, replied: "To be absolved from guilt, the raped woman must have shown some sort of good conduct . . . Islam addresses women to maintain their modesty, as not to open the door for evil...The Koran calls upon Muslim women in general to preserve their dignity and modesty, just to save themselves from any harassment." This is considered to be a RS by Wikipedia standards. However, Frankakapta analysis of the original document cited by the Telegraph is clearly WP:OR. If Frankakapta can find a secondary source which conducts this analysis, then it can be included. However, as it stands Frankakapta's additions clearly violate WP:OR as well as WP:SYNTH. I will remind Frankakapta that Wikipedia's stance on original research is clear:
Frankakapta is essentially trying to disprove the article in the Daily Telegraph by conducting his own analysis of the original document and making an evaluative claim based on that analysis. Frankakapta needs to understand that if an analysis and refutation of al-Qaradawi's statements is not available from an WP:RS, then it doesn't belong in Wikipedia.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 19:33, 1 April 2014 (UTC))
I'm in a good mood today so I might as well give you a hand. I did a search for this topic on Google and found one secondary source that supports your argument [19]. If you prepare a response based on the analysis provided in this article (and not by yourself), while making sure that the response meets WP:NPOV, then you might have a much better chance of making your case.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 23:44, 2 April 2014 (UTC))
I've replaced the original research with a response based on this secondary source [22]. I welcome any comments or suggestions from all editors.( Hyperionsteel ( talk) 06:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC))

At the end of the introductory section, the paragraph on al-Qaradawi’s consultancy on a film about prophet Muhammad should be amended to say that no information has been released on the movie since 2015. Indeed, the three sources cited all date back to 2015 and there hasn’t been any other anglophone media coverage since, according to a search I just did on Google News.
Therefore the following change should be made to the text : « It is expected to be aired in 2018. » should be changed to: « Although originally expected to air in 2018, no information has been released on the film since 2015. »
(as a matter of style, another change should be made : « The film is to be financed by Qatar and will be supervised by al-Qaradawi. » should be changed to « The film is to be financed by Qatar with a provisional budget of US$1 billion and supervised by al-Qaradawi. » and the last sentence « The budget on this film is US$1 billion. » should be deleted)

Boycotting Israeli and American Goods Became a “Fareeda” on All Muslims
(Fatwa by Syaikh DR. Yousef Al-Qaradawi)
Please read carefully, reflect, and act.
On Sunday 8th of October 2000 AlJazeera News Network aired a Program inviting Dr. Yousef Al-Qaradawi. The subject of the program was about what is going on today in Palestine and the “Jihad Fareeda”. For those of you who don’t know Dr. Yousef, he is a very well known and established Islamic Figure and scholar who is known to be very moderate and respectfully knowledgeable. Dr. Yousef Issued a Fatwa on air that boycotting Israeli and American goods became a “Fareeda” on all Muslims all over the world. He said that each Dollar we pay for a can of CocaCola for example becomes a bullet in the American/Israeli war machine that is directed at us.
Dr. Yousef said that it is “Haram” not to do this. We are spending our money everyday in Macdonalds, KFC, Burger King, etc. without thinking for a moment where will this money go. In My opinion, every one of us is responsible for applying this in his home and life style. Look at the Americans who wanted to Veto a UN decision to condemn the Israeli actions in Palestine! If those where peacekeepers as they claim would they do that. Not to mention that this UN resolution was not going to name countries by name!!!! What a joke. At the end the US refrained from voting!!! YA ALLAH !!!
People, don’t you think ? Don’t you feel pain and sorrow any more? Don’t you feel the bitterness the Arab nation is into? The cheapest blood is ours! we are the test arena for there weapons and bullets and technology. This war machinery is enforced by our money in the consumerism they pushed us in. I ask you in the name of Allah, Muslims and Christians, I ask you in the name of the thousands who died on the hands of those terrorists in 1948, in 1967, in 1973, in Qana, in dir Yassin, in Bahr ElBakar, in Gazza, in ElKudos. I ask you in the name of the brave people who died for our dignity in a time when we have become more like statues. I ask you in the name of the child Mohamed El-Dorrah, who died in his father’s lap by a bullet you and me paid for. What have we become ? We have eyes that we don’t see with anymore. We have ears that we don’t hear with anymore.
We have hearts that doesn’t feel pain any more. They have made mutants out of us by turning us into blind consumers that pay money for their war machinery to terrorize the Arab and Islamic world. Boycott them NOW !! People, this life is not the end of the road. There will come a day that we will be asked in front of a mighty god, who will put us face to face with those of us who died while we pay our money for their killers. What will we say to them ? Will we say “Sorry, but your blood was cheaper than the Ketchup we spill on our MacDonald’s sandwich” !!! It’s now or never !! And for those of you how are living on their lands. The doctors of you who are curing their diseased. Why are you there? Because you make more money ? because life there is more ignifying? Think about it? Think about what you will answer when the day of judgment comes.
The Arab and Islamic nations need us to put our hands together and to become stronger. Come back to us. Come mend our wounded. Come build our economies instead of doing it for the enemy. I mean not to offend anyone but it’s the bitter truth for all of us. Whoever wants to shut his eyes and ears will one day wake up when its too late and find out that all the money and omfort he collected in his life is no more than dust in front of God!
Allahom Inny Ballaghet. Allahom Fashahad. GOD, Be Witness on Mohamed’s Ummah in the day they sold their Lands, their Lives, their dignity, and their brothers and sisters and bought every thing that is cheap.

Tabbas sheikh yusuf al qaradawi mutunne jajirtace a bangare daya shafi addinin musulci — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.88.34.86 ( talk) 21:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
At 19:42 on 12 July 2017, someone (a member of the Muslim Brotherhood?) cleaned al-Qaradawi's reputation by deleting information about al-Qaradawi's historical support for Female Genital Mutilation. Instead, they replaced the paragraph with:
Qaradawi said that female genital mutilation surgery is forbidden in Islam. He called for the termination and ban of "female circumcision" in some parts of the Muslim world, especially in rural Africa where most still practice it. His views were supported by Sheikhs in Al-Azhar.[106]
The editor left an unreliable citation of a Muslim Brotherhood website.
I urge an administrator to replace the above paragraph with something like this:
Al Qaradawi recommended female circumcision ( Female Genital Mutilation) throughout his career until he changed his mind in 2009, at age 83.
In his 1987 book “Modern Fatwas”, Al-Qaradawi opined that female circumcision was “not obligatory”, however he recommended female circumcision arguing "[female] circumcision is better for a woman's health and it enhances her conjugal relations with her husband" and "whoever finds it serving the interest of his daughters should do it, and I personally support this under the current circumstances in the modern world". [1] [2]
In 2006, al-Qaradawi attended a conference at al-Azhar University of high-ranking Muslim scholars where FGM was discussed where the goal of the conference was to declare FGM to be incompatible with the ethics of Islam. Al-Qaradawi criticized the fact that the conference was paid for by a foreign institution, and he complained that the conference title, "The Prohibition of Violation of the Female Body through Circumcision" was biased and presumptuous. At that time, Al-Qaradawi did not give a fatwa to prohibit Female Genital Mutilation, instead he urged that doctors ought to have the last word about female circumcision. [3]
In 2007, in a landmark ruling on the practice, the authoritative Al-Azhar Supreme Council of Islamic Research in Cairo declared that Female Genital Mutilation has "no basis in core Islamic law or any of its partial provisions". [4] [5] Egyptian Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa also confirmed in 2007: "It's prohibited, prohibited, prohibited." [6] At that time, Al-Qaradawi did not give a fatwa to prohibit Female Genital Mutilation.
In March 2009, FGM activists Rüdiger Nehberg and Tarafa Baghajati met with al-Qaradawi in Qatar and persuaded him to change his mind about Female Genital Mutilation. He gave a fatwa stating the genital mutilation of girls is forbidden as "devil's work" because it is against the ethics of Islam. "Since factual examination by neutral experts and specialists […] has proved that female genital mutilation […] causes bodily and spiritual damage to the female sex and seriously harms a woman’s married life, this custom must be stopped…" He explained his change of mind: "If scholars before our time had found out what we now know, they would have changed their minds because they always sought the truth." [7]
In 2017, with the publication of a new Arabic edition of his book "The Lawful and Prohibited in Islam” (originally published in 1960), Qaradawi opined that female circumcision is forbidden in Islam. citation needed
I added the final sentence because I have heard from Professor Tariq Ramadan that in 2017, al-Qaradawi edited his book "The Lawful and Prohibited in Islam" to reflect his change of mind, opining that FGM is forbidden in Islam. I cannot find a citation for it, but perhaps someone can provide a citation.
