Istihlal

Istihlal (Arabic: استحلال‎ istiḥlāl) is a term used in Islamic jurisprudence, or fiqh, to refer to the act of regarding some action as permissible, or halaal; the implication is that such a regard is an erroneous and improper distortion of Islamic law. The word "istihlal" is derived as Stem X of the Arabic consonantal root ح-ل-ل meaning "to untie", "to solve", "to dissolve", "to open", "to release", etc.

The term "istihlal" came to prominence in the Western news media on 11 March 2005, the first anniversary of the Madrid bombing attacks of 2004, when the Islamic Commission of Spain (La Comisión Islámica de España) issued a fatwa, or religious opinion, denouncing Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda for engaging in istihlal with respect to the waging of jihad through terrorism, and the killing of women, children, and noncombatants.

The relevant passages from the fatwa are as follows:

Whistle Low

I went out today and the pavement shown
the water around as if cause is gone
I heard my shoe scrap across the ground
well the others sound so much louder now
In the shade where no one knows
In the shade he whistle low
In the shade where no one knows
In the shade he whistle low
I went out today and I felt the sun
I forgot last night I know that was dumb
I remember it how is was to be young and
As I laughed out loud I forgot again
In the shade where no one knows
In the shade he whistle low
In the shade where no one knows
In the shade he whistle low
(I went out today and I felt the sun)
In the shade where no one knows
(I forgot last night I know that was dumb)
In the shade he whistle low
(I remember it how is was to be young and )
In the shade where no one knows
(As I laughed out loud I forgot again)
