Fatwa on Obedience; Nadim Says Disobeying the Lord of the Universe is a Sin; Try Not to Commit Sin

He added that the fundamental difference between the previous republican system and the Taliban’s “Islamic Emirate” lies in this very issue. According to Nadim, in the republican system, commands from the president were defied; but in the Taliban system, orders are issued based on the Quran and hadith, and following them is obligatory.


The Taliban’s Minister of Higher Education said: “Obedience to the Emir is a personal religious obligation. Defying the Emir is sinful, and strive not to commit sin.”


Nadim also claimed that all decisions and actions of the current Taliban administration are “Islamic,” while, according to him, some laws and policies of the republican system were in conflict with Islamic sharia.


He cited the banking system and interest-based lending as examples of practices during the republican era that were incompatible with sharia, adding that for this reason, adherence to all decisions of that government was not deemed necessary.


According to Nadim, during the republican era, religious scholars also advised people not to follow orders and policies that conflicted with sharia, since not all decisions of that system were acceptable.


Taliban officials have repeatedly emphasized that the system of this group is administered based on Islamic sharia. In contrast, critics of the Taliban say this group implements its own particular interpretation of sharia and uses it to consolidate a monopoly on power—an action that, in their view, has restricted justice, equality, and political participation.

Nida Muhammad Nadim, the Taliban’s Minister of Higher Education, stated at the graduation ceremony of students from Sheikh Zayed University in Khost that obedience to the leader of this group is a “personal religious obligation” and that opposition or disobedience to Taliban officials is considered “forbidden” and a “sin.”
