Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Sheikh Hassan Sharifah, mufti and imam of Al-Safa Mosque in Beirut and secretary-general of the Awqaf of the Supreme Islamic Shia Council of Lebanon, made the remarks in a statement.
He said the war between "brothers of one faith and one qibla" — whose bonds of religion, geography, and history are intertwined and whose language is that of the Holy Quran — is among the most painful wounds in the body of the Islamic nation.
Sharifah noted that this war is not merely a loss of lives and property, but a wound to the unity of the ummah and a waste of its capabilities and the future of its generations.
He stressed that anyone who truly loves Saudi Arabia or Yemen does not demonstrate that love by pouring oil on the fire of divisions, fueling grudges, or inciting tensions — but rather by working to extinguish the fire of sedition, bringing viewpoints closer, and calling for dialogue and the preservation of lives and dignity.
The cleric emphasized that today the responsibility of "speech" is no less important than the responsibility of "taking a position," because words can either open the doors of peace or widen the gaps of division and deepen wounds.
He added that loyalty to any people cannot be expressed by increasing their suffering, nor is it wise to celebrate one side's victory at the cost of another's blood.
