In a statement on the “Sawt Al-Salaf” or the “Voice of Salaf” video footage, Dr. Yāsir Burhāmī issued a religious edict (fatwá) saying that ”Muslims who oppose the Sharī’ah-based Constitution are hypocrites, even if they fast and pray according to Islamic rules and consider themselves Muslims”.  

Burhāmī gave legitimacy to his fatwá by citing Qur’anic verses, and sent a comforting message to the Salafīs that despite the schism the Salafī political party al-Nūr faced as one of their leader defected to form a new Party.  [’Imād Tāha, Al-Sabāh, Jan.4, p. 3] Read original text in Arabic
