Colloquially it means “your blood is free” to other people. It gives islamic religious lunatics a reason to kill you. If you are somewhat of a known person you should be worried. In a regular legal system (as in not in an islamic sharia law place) this can pass as a threat and legal action should be taken against the one who said it to you.
What im saying is the popular street meaning of this and thus it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Its a threat. Period full stop.
Theologically it just means some religious legal entity ruled against you in your absence.
From Wikipedia:
A fatwa is a legal ruling on a point of Islamic law (sharia) given by a qualified Islamic jurist (faqih) in response to a question posed by a private individual, judge or government.
So unless you live in a country that runs on Sharia law and have your real information connected to your account, you can safely ignore it.
You could report the poster for being mean if it goes against that community’s or instance’s rules. Up to you. But I think someone’s just being a troll.
I am currently in the states so I should be safe. Thanks for the info.
It means some religious nut job is going to tell other religious nut jobs to hurt you.
Well I got another contract to go to in CA so I am not really worried about it after reading up on it. I think I am safe unless someone is stalking me. It is just a very weird thing to be told.
See? Why would you expose where you’re going when you potentially have an extremist stalker? Delete those details.
Kind of a weird thing to say, it’s a ruling on a point of islamic law…
Some reference material: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabbing_of_Salman_Rushdie
the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for his assassination

If they don’t have your name, address or picture, just ignore it, but depending on where the Fatwa came from, should be considered a physical threat.

I am currently reading the Fatwa wiki. And it seems like it has gotten distorted from what it was origanally suppose to be. So I am taking it with a grain of salt. Also in two weeks I move again so have fun tracking me lol.
the same as them saying you will be excommunicated. or that they will hang you for high treason. essentially its total bullshit as they likely do not have the authority to do what they are saying.
Probably some degenerate talking a big game. Might want to take it more seriously, as a threat, depending on context.
