Saudi Arabia’s religious scholars are the ultimate authority on the
verification of Islamic materials that Muslims worldwide read, follow,
teach and promote. The Saudis spread their approved doctrines throughout
the world.
Ali Hammuda, an Imam at a Cardiff mosque where three young jihadis from
the city worshipped before travelling to Syria to join Islamic State, told the group of boys as young as 13 that the ‘day of judgment is

today, and because of these wars women will be taken as captives, as
slaves, yeah, women will be taken as slaves.

to have relations with a woman who is your slave or your wife.
he said.
At no point does Hammuda, who was born in Palestine but brought up in
the UK, point out that slavery is no longer permitted in Islam, nor
indeed that it is illegal in the UK.

programmes officer at Cardiff’s Al-Manar Mosque. His Halaqa – or study
