Haram Haqiqatjou #13: Calling for the Hanging of a Public Health Official

Background

At the height of the COVID pandemic and as a vaccine was rolled out, Daniel’s rhetoric became more and more violent and irrational. His hatred of then Chief Medical Advisor to the President of the United States, Dr. Anthony Fauci, became a toxic obsession, seemingly fueled by language from the far-right in the US.

Haram Action
Daniel calls for the murder of Dr. Anthony Fauci, a despicable and haram act. Even in Western secular law, this is considered a threat of murder and can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Evidence of Haram
Daniel writes “Hang Fauci”, calling for the murder of a civilian doctor. Threatening the life of a civilian is categorically haram. There is no evidence within the Prophetic tradition of any such language. Further, publicly calling for this murder only worsens the gravity of this act and incites hatred and potential acts of violence. Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “…Whoever calls to misguidance will have sin upon him similar to those who follow him, without detracting from their sins at all.”
