The authentic Islamic framework is anchored in the establishment of justice and equity, and in the honoring of covenants and pledges that safeguard societal stability and protect the lives, property, and honor of citizens.
The Lebanese Muslim Scholars Association, in fulfillment of its religious and national responsibility, affirms the following:
- Justice is the cornerstone of stability: No society can achieve lasting stability under double standards or when citizens are discriminated against on the basis of sectarian affiliation or regional origin.
- The sanctity of life and property: Preserving civil peace is a religious and moral imperative, and the sparing of blood ranks among the foremost principles of Islamic political jurisprudence.
- Judicial reform: A fair and impartial judiciary is the sole refuge of citizens. We call for an end to the open-ended practice of arbitrary pretrial detention and the unjust prosecution of our youth before military tribunals.
