Who is Professor Dr Salman al-Dayah who issued the Fatwa condemning Hamas on October 7?
Digitally, this person did not exist before November 8

Last night, I posted a BBC article Gaza’s top Islamic scholar issues fatwa criticising 7 October attack. I posted it on the good reputation of Rushdi Abualouf, the BBC Gaza Correspondent.
BBC: Gaza’s top Islamic scholar issues fatwa criticising 7 October attack
Hamas's attack on 7 October triggered the war with Israel
The above story, should be very significant, even though Professor Dr Salman Al-Dayah only said he condemned Hamas for taking an action that would cause a response that would endanger innocent Palestinians.
Investigating closer, using two search engines shows that the only footprint for Dr Salman is only 24 hours old. Before November 8, 2024, there is nothing on the internet even mentioning him. Crossing over to Google Scholar, such a professor short have a long history of publications. There is no Dr Salman Al-Dayah or any publications on Google Scholar.
The prefix “Salman al-xxxxxxxx” picks up a lot of names, but not Dr Salman Al-Dayah. Digitally, this person did not exist before November 8.
The Fatwa, according to other sources said the Fatwa was issued on Facebook. That’s a strange way to issue any Fatwa. However, I (although others claim to see the page) cannot find it on Facebook.
It appears many of us have been misled, either accidently, or on purpose. One can only speculate as to why.
I have contacted Rushdi Abualouf to see if I can find out anymore.
Many people were caught out with this. I have lost all trust in the BBC.

Hi, I've been checking what you say. The complete name of this cleric is Salman Bin Nasr Al-Dayah. If you look for his name in Arabic characters (سلمان بن نصر الضيّة) you will get to his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/SalmanDaya/?locale=ar_AR
This page has posts older than Nov 8. He also has a twitter page (@dr_salman_daya). According to his profile he joined in March 2012.
Concerning his relevance as a Sharia scholar or his previous position as dean of the faculty of Law at the Islamic University, I couldn't verify that. But one of the pictures of his FB page shows him with what seems to be other academic staff on the stairs of a building. It is from December 2012.
Professor Salman and his ther manifestations created by the BBC, Israel, Open and Civil Societies and the Regime Change movement are all the stuff of fantasy and hatred the likes of Murray Hunter and his fellow travellers (his other manifestations who typically resort to insults and abuse "chicken korma" "plantation niggah" etc etc) feed on as their intellectual staple.
Israel is on its knees. The fight by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority and every other resistance fighter of the Palestinian cause will push on together with those few (now a growing member) of Israeli Jews who do not support the barbarism of Zionism.
The Jews of Israle and the diaspora are in denial. Like the flicker of a dying candle they burn bright, emit a lot of heat, are menacing and impressive. But they remain a dying candle which consumes itself and those they draw to it like moths in the end.
