"The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and Chairman of the Senior Scholars, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah Al-Sheikh, announced that supporting the Free Syrian Army and strengthening it while weakening the regime is a form of jihad for the sake of God. The Mufti pointed out that everything that strengthens the Free Syrian Army and weakens the bloody Syrian regime is required by the Sharia (religious law). He added that our duty towards our brothers in Syria should encompass prayer and effort to deliver aid to them." (thanks Fatima)
