Archive Archive of Islamic State Administrative Documents (cont.) by Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi • Jan 11, 2016 at 8:46 am http://www.aymennjawad.org/2016/01/archive-of-islamic-state-administrative-documents-1 The original raw archive of Islamic State administrative documents I began back in January 2015 now contains well over 300 specimens to view in the original and in translation. Owing to technical issues, no further specimens can be added to the original post and so the archive must be continued here. To avoid confusion, there will be continuity with the original classification system. Thus, the last specimen in the first post was Specimen 12J, and so the first specimen added here will be Specimen 12K. Specimen 12K: Anbar Media Notification Islamic State

Wilayat al-Anbar Media Fleeing from the ranks is among the great sins. Praise be to God who has made jihad in the path of God the prime order of Islam, the pinnacle of its hump, for by it He has made the believers mighty and noble, while having lowered and disdained idolatry and the idolators. For jihad in the path of God- in its two types (offensive and defensive jihad)- continues till the Day of Judgment, and the Muslims have not abandoned jihad against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and relied on the material world unless they have brought humiliation and disdain on their enemies: "If people are stingy with the dinar and dirham, and deal on the basis of the sample, and follow the followers of the cow, and abandon jihad in the path of God, God will bring down affliction on them and will not relieve them of it until they return to their religion." For most of the Muslims today are squandering except the one who undertakes jihad with his soul or wealth, and intends raids from them, as they have abadoned the obligation of jihad and have relied on the meterial world, so they have been replaced as the one who is lower with the one who is better, as God has imposed their enemies upon them, so they have imposed on them evil torment, so they have killed their sons and women, infringed on their sacred rites, violated their lands and possessions, and abandoned them them in a state they will never envy. [...] Not only have the Muslims today abandoned offensive jihad that is the head of jihad, but also they have refrained from and abandoned supporting their oppressed brothers in their religion, being subject to war war waged upon them in their homelands and abodes, their rights usurped, their dignity disdained, their sacred rites humiliated, as is the case in Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India and other Muslim lands: but not only have they engaged in abandonment and stood as mere onlookers on their brothers who have been overcome, but also some of them have waged war side by side with the disbelievers, and have spied on their brothers, as happened in Afghanistan, and they offered their facilitations to the forces of the enemy to destroy the Taliban state. I ask, Muslim brother, that you compare our state of affairs with that of our predecessors in this field, so that you may see the vast distance and wide separation between the state of affairs of people today and their state of affairs yesterday, and between the armies of today and the mujahideen of yesterday.

Islamic State In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Wilayat Halab Praise be to God alone, and prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no prophet, his family, companions and his soldiers. As for what follows: God Almighty has said: "Oh you who believe, do not take the Jews and Christians as allies: they are allies to one another. And the one who allies with them is one of them. Indeed God does not guide the wrongdoing people" (al-Ma'ida 51) [Qur'an 5:51]. And God Almighty has said: "Let not the believers take the disbelievers as allies besides the believers. Whosoever does that there is nothing from God, unless it be that you guard yourselves against them out of caution. And God warns you of Himself. And to God is the final destination" (Al mran 28) [Qur'an 3:28]. Imam al-Tabari said: "And the meaning of that is: Don't take, oh believers, the disbelievers as a reliance and supporters with whom you sympathize on the basis of the religion, supporting them against the Muslims in preference to the believers, and pointing them to their weak spots. Whoever does that "there is nothing from God"- meaning that he has disavowed God and God has disavowed him by virtue of his apostasy from his religion and his entry into disbelief...So do not take sides with them on the basis of what they are upon from disbelief, and do not nominate them over a Muslim in deed." Thus, with the entry of the Crusaders and those with them from the tyrants of the Arabs in an international alliance to wage war on the Islamic State, the Crusaders are striving to encourage agents, spies, informers and slanderers whose role is concealed in placing electronic chips on sites and places where the mujahideen and Muslims are present in order for them to be bombed after that by aircraft, and likewise marking out sites of the mujahideen and diwans of the Islamic State, and likewise they work to connect with the foreign intelligence services and revealing the weak spots of the mujahideen and Muslims, in order for them to be targets for the international Crusader coalition. Therefore: the Islamic State announces the observance of a financial compensation of $5000 for anyone who catches an agent for the Crusaders or supplies information leading to him. Let it be known that informing on and catching the agents and spies and whoever strives to sow corruption in the land is obligatory on every Muslim. The Almighty has said: "And cooperate on the basis of piety and fear of God, and do not cooperate on the basis of sin and enmity. And fear God. Indeed God is severe in punishment"- (al-Ma'ida 2) [Qur'an 5:2]. And God is the one behind the intention.

And praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds. The wali Islamic State

Decision no.: n/a

Month of Safr 1437 AH [c. November-December 2015] In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful God Almighty has said: "Go forth, lightly or heavily armed. And wage jihad with your wealth and souls in the path of God. That is best for you if you know" (al-Tawba 41) [Qur'an 9:41]. And on the authority of Anas (may God be pleased with him): that the Prophet (SAWS) said: "Wage jihad against the mushrikeen with your wealth, souls & tongues"- Musnad Ahmad: Musnad Anas Malek (11798). Jihad of wealth has been mentioned with jihad of soul in the Qur'an in ten cases, and in nine of those cases jihad of wealth has been presented beforehand over jihad of the soul, and only in one case has jihad of the soul been presented beforehand over jihad of wealth. And on the authority of Omar bin al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him): "The Messenger of God (SAWS) ordered us to give charity and that coincided with the time I had some wealth. So I said: 'Today I will outdo Abu Bakr, if ever I have outdone him.' So I came with half of my wealth, and so the Messenger of God (SAWS) said: 'What have you left for your family?' I said: 'The same amount.' And Abu Bakr came with all he had, so he said: 'Oh Abu Bakr, what have you left for your family?' He said: 'I have left for them God and His Messenger.' I said: 'By God, I can never outdo him in anything.'" (muttafiq alayhi). So on account of the exceptional circumstances the Islamic State is facing, it has been decided to reduce the salaries that are paid to all mujahideen by half, and it is not allowed for anyone to be exempted from this decision, whatever his position. Let it be known that work will continue to distribute provisions twice every month as usual. And God is the guarantor of success. Islamic State

Administration of Engineering Department Specimen 12T: Statement on imposing Shari'a regulations in Aden University, Aden Province, Yemen [c. October 2015] Islamic State (Wilayat Aden)

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful The Almighty has said: "Indeed the recompense of those who wage war on God and His Messenger and sow corruption in the land is that they will be killed or crucified or have their hands or feet cut from opposite sides or be driven from the land. That is the recompense for them in this world, and there will be a painful torment for them in the Hereafter" [Qur'an 5:33]. Praise be to God the Powerful, the Strong, and prayers and peace be upon the one sent with the sword as a mercy to the worlds, and on his family, companions and followers. As for what follows: In the shade of the rise of the sun of the Caliphate on the regions of the earth, the hope of glory has radiated in people's hearts. For the luminous hearts have observed it, and have set out as multitudes and individuals, responding to the call of their Lord, preparing the way for His law on the Earth, and taking up the arms of reliance and faith that dent the sword and break the cross. And on the path of the call of those sent, from affliction and tribulation preceding realization, its path has arisen in the jihad in Wilayat Aden, so the pure blood has flowed, announcing by it the beginning of the stage of affliction and tribulation, until it reaches the stage of realization. And so the betrayals of the traitors have become clear, as well as the conspiracies of the connivers, and the corruption and immorality of the apostate heretics, from the hateful agents of the Majus, the criminal enemies of the religion and the followers of disbelieving secularism. All of these have come together and conspired against the Muslims. Therefore we in the Islamic State, announce it today openly without retreat: We are determined to strike with the hand of iron all who wage war on God and His Messenger in all their forms and appearances, whether these people wear the clothing of immorality and corruption or wear falsely and misleadingly the clothing of modesty and virtue, when in reality they are the people of immorality and evil. Indeed we declare that the Islamic Shari'a is the Shari'i regulation inside the university, and any of the displays of striving to sow corruption in the land will face the swords on our part. By that we specify the following: 1. Separation of males from females and preventing mixing between them outright.

2. Prohibiting celebrations that are held inside the university in which singing and any of the instruments of Satan are used.

3. Making all members of staff and students undertake prayer at its times even if there is something else at the same time. Also we warn the agents and traitors from the spies and agents of apostasy, that the security apparatus can't provide protection for you and that our mujahideen are on the look out for you. So either repentance, return and subjecting to the law of God, or swords that will implement the law of God on you and it has come previously that we implemented the ruling of God against an agent of heresy and apostasy and he was one of the students among you who was working with the organizations of disbelief and apostasy. Indeed we are determined to fulfill what remains from among them. Also we warn whoever includes them inside your claimed university, and we give you a deadline until next Thursday. Also we warn all fathers that the mujahideen brothers in the Islamic State are not responsible for their sons who have not responded to a warning in the event of their being found after the set period. Indeed the mujahideen brothers in the Islamic State oblige you to comply with what came above, without delay, procrastination or postponement. Otherwise, know that we will knock on your doors with IEDs, striking bombs, and killing swords, until we lop off your heads from your bodies, render your bodies ashes, your buildings as debris, in front of the view of the whole world. Know that we do not want anything from you besides the aforementioned so if you do it and apply it, we will leave you and your affairs alone and we will not harm you. And God is the best guarantor of success and supporter. Indeed God I have conveyed, so God, be witness. Specimen 12U: Electricity prices, Raqqa (January 2016) Specimen 12V: Imposition of the niqab in Raqqa (January 2014) Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham

Wilayat al-Raqqa Statement for the imposition of the niqab Beginning from the words of God Almighty: "Oh you who believe, save yourselves and families from Hellfire whose fuel are people and stones over which harsh, severe angels preside, not disobeying God in what He has ordered for them and doing what they are ordered"- al-Tahrim 6 [Qur'an 66:9]. And the words of the Messenger of God (SAWS): "Each one of you oversees and each one of you is responsible for his subjects: so the amir overseeing the people is also responsible for his subjects, and the man overseeing the family of his household is also responsible for his subjects, and the slave of the man overseeing his master's wealth is also responsible for it. So is not each one of you ovserseeing and each one of you responsible for his subjects?" (authentic hadith). And the words of God Almighty: "Oh Prophet, tell your wives, daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over them a part of their garments. That is more appropriate for them that they should be known and not be abused. And God is forgiving, merciful"- al-Ahzab 59 Qur'an 33:59]. And on the authority of A'isha, who said: "Riders would pass by us while we were with the Messenger of God- SAWS- as muharramat. So when they got near us, each of us would draw her outer cloak from her head over her face, and when they had gone by, we would uncover it"- Musnid Imam Ahmad. And on the authority of A'isha, may God be pleased with her, who said: "May God have mercy on the first muhajireen women, when God made the revelation: 'And let them wrap their khumur over their juyub.' They tore their murut and made khumur with them." 'And let them wrap their khumur over their juyub'- i.e. let them veil their heads, necks and chests. 'Khumur'- plural of khimar, and it is the covering of the head. 'Juyub'- plural of jib, and it is the splitting of the garments from the side of the head. 'Their murut'- plural of murt and it is al-izar, and al-izar is the full body garment. 'Fa-ikhtarmna biha'- They covered their faces with their murut. And Muslim and others besides him have narrated that the Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "There are two types from my Ummah I have not yet seen: men with whips like the tails of cows by which they beat the people, and women clothed but apparently naked, inviting to evil and themselves inclined to it, and their heads like the humps of the camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and will not find its odour." And on the authority of Osama bin Zayd: he said: the Messenger of God (SAWS) said: "I have not left a fitna upon my Ummah more harmful upon men than women." According to that, any sister present on the street must embrace Islamic conduct, including: 1. Wearing the entire Shari'i hijab composed of: the fluttering abaya, the hijab, the niqab and gloves.

2. No raising the voice in the street.

3. The sister should not walk at a late hour on her own, and similarly she should not walk without her maharim. Every sister violating these codes of conduct will be punished in the street along with the guardian of her affairs after a deadline of three days. Date of the statement: 19 Rabi' al-Awal 1435 AH corresponding to 20 January 2014. And God Almighty has said: "And cooperate on the basis of piety and taqwa and not on the basis of sin and enmity" [Qur'an 5:3]. Therefore we remind our brothers and sisters in Wilayat al-Raqqa to cooperate for the sake of implementing the Islamic Shari'a, for whose sake we came out and for whose sake whoever has been killed from the Muslim people of Raqqa has been killed, and in whose implementation we fear that if we fall short then God will deprive us of the liberated areas. He has said: "Perhaps your Lord will allow your enemy to destroy you and succeed you in the land, for he observes how you operate." Ask God that this work should be devotion in the face of God and out of fear of Him, not out of fear of the Dawla. "They can conceal from the people but not from God and He is with them when they spend the nights such as He is not content with of speech: and God has been ever-encompassing in what they do" [Qur'an 4:108].

Shari'i Committee in Wilayat al-Baraka Important statement In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions. As for what follows: A rumour has spread among the people initiated by some of those who hate and spreaders of rumour who have been stung by the victories of the Islamic State, its conquest of areas and villages, their liberation from the hands of the Sahwa forces and the implementation of the ruling of God's law in them with the establishment of courts and commanding what is right and forbidding what is wrong- by God's grace alone- which has made the virtuous Muslims gather around them and hope for it [the Islamic State] to come to their villages and towns. But this rumour asserts that the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham declares takfir on the Muslim populaces, believes that the original principle among our peoples is kufr, and declares takfir on the groups fighting in Deir az-Zor entirely and individually, even those that fight the Nusayri regime in Deir az-Zor city. And God is the One whose help is to be sought. Although this talk and this falsehood are shown to be false by reality and rejected by sound minds, it has nonetheless become necessary for us to make clear the falsehood of this claim and its lack of credibility so that it does not spread among simpletons and the naive from among the populace. So let all know that the creed of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham is the creed of the Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama'at, so we are a middle path between the innovative sects. So we are neither extremists Khawarij nor the crude people of Irja', so we do not declare takfir simply for acts of rebellion that are beneath kufr, nor for thoughts, outcomes, absolute inferences, mere hearsay or suspicions of what is said. Rather, we declare takfir on the one whom God and His Messenger have declared takfir on, from those who have committed a clear nullifier from creed, word or deed. And we consider that the original principle among our peoples is Islam and we deal with them as Muslims, and we rule upon them according to their outward appearances, and God is entrusted over the inner thoughts. And whoever shows for us kufr, we declare takfir on him according to the Shari'i regulations, whatever his name and whatever his lineage. And we do not fear in that a critic's censure. In light of this we also not declare takfir on the one who disagrees with us in opinion and politics of operation from the fighting groups that fight the Nusayri regime for the sake of implementing the ruling of God's law in Deir az-Zor city, have not touched on any of the things that lead to kufr like adopting democracy or fighting for the sake of patriotism, nationalism or civil state, and have not helped the disbelievers and apostates against the mujahideen- although we consider them to have strayed on the side of their refraining from the obligation of the age unless also there is gathering under one banner and allegiance to the Shari'i imam, but we continue to affirm as we affirmed in a previous statement that we will strive to support and reinforce these groups by God's permission as far as we can in their fight against this kafir regime so long as they strive to implement the ruling of God's law and do not stand with our enemies in one rank or announce war on us.

Date: 28 Jumada al-Thani 1435 AH [c. 28 April 2014] Praise be to God and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of God, his family, companions and whoso is loyal to him. As for what follows: The Almighty has said: "And know that when you seize any spoils, a fifth part goes to God and the Messenger, and for those who are relatives, orphans, the poor and the wayfarer, if you believe in God and what We have brought down on Our servant on the day of Furqan- when the two armies met. And God is capable over all"- (al-Anfal 41) [Qur'an 8:41]. The Almighty has said: "What God has given in booty to the His Messenger from the people of the villages is for God, His Messenger and those who are relatives, orphans, the poor and the wayfarer, so that it should not be monopolized between the rich among you. And what the Messenger has brought you, take it, and what the Messenger has kept from you, refrain from it, and fear God. Indeed God is severe of consequence"- (al-Hashr 7) Indeed God- Blessed and Almighty is He- has granted orphans a right to the spoils that the Muslims seize from the disbelievers in fighting and likewise the booty that God bestows as a blessing on the Muslims from the wealth of the disbelievers without fighting. So indeed the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham in Wilayat al-Raqqa, in answer to the command of God- Almighty and Exalted is He- that is its slogan, objective and among the reasons for its ennabling, announces the opening of the Office of the Share of Orphans from Spoils and Booty, in which it works to give the right of the orphans to what God gives in blessing to it from spoils and booty. And thus we call on all the Muslims to help us in reaching these orphans from the sons of the Muslims in Wilayat al-Raqqa who have lost their parents and peers beneath 15 years of age or have not reached puberty among males and have not reached menstruation among females. Let our brothers be reminded that reckoned within eating the wealth of the orphan is giving it to someone else and preventing him from his right that God has ordained for him, for it comes under the threat of that verse in which the Almighty has said: "Indeed those who eat the wealth of the orphans wrongly will eat fire in their bellies, and will be burned in a blaze"- (al-Nisa' 10) [Qur'an 4:10] Also we make clear that this share is not fixed by a specific value but rather is altered by the change of spoils or booty and perhaps it may be repeated in a short time or diverge with the divergence of spoils or booty. We ask God- Almighty and Exalted is He- to open for us and nourish us from where we may not reckon so that we may give all having the right his rightful due. This is so, and by God guarantor over all that is fine, and He is our reliance and the best sufficer. General Shari'i Committee

Emirate of Benghazi [Date & no. unclear] Statement for distribution Subject: Facilitating the task of the brothers in the media [...] on the subject above I [the amir of Benghazi] direct a clear order to all the amirs, admin officials and soldiers of the Islamic State in Benghazi to cooperate with the media office in the following. 1. Referring the news on the fronts of combat in the district on a daily basis to the media so that it can publicise it (sniper, mortar, dealing with heavy weapons, advance, resisting an attack etc.) 2. Informing them of all actions before beginning to undertake them in sufficient time (dealing, assault, firing a mortar round or any type of heavy weapon, undertaking a hadd punishment, burning prohibited goods etc.) 3. Cooperating with them in photography, recording and providing the appropriate atmosphere to broadcast their message. 4. Embracing military and Shari'i clothes on photography. 5. Complying with the placing of a covering on the face on photography in all events and whoever does not comply has no right to condemn the brothers when they publish his photograph. I draw your attention to very important matters upon which reprimand consequences will follow in the event of violation: - No photography with mobiles or cameras in the Dawla's bases or fronts except with prior coordination with the media.

- No publishing at all any news of the Dawla's fronts on the Internet except through the media office.

- No writing on the wall because the tawagheet have exploited them in media, while the writing present now should be wiped out, and also in the homes of the Muslims.

- No going to the media base whatever the reason. It suffices to connect with them on need alone.

- It is not allowed for any person not part of the Dawla media office to photograph on the Dawla's fronts. Obedience of the amir is from obedience of God- Almighty and Exalted is He- while contravening the amir is a reason for prohibition on entering Paradise. For the Prophet (SAWS) has said: "Whoever obeys my amir has obeyed me." And he said: "All of you will enter Paradise except the one who has refused...and whoever disobeys me has refused."

Wilayat Halab In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful - In view of the current situation of slacking and the pouncing of the disbelievers and apostate enemies on the Muslim populace in the areas of the Islamic State, the following decision has been adopted: 1. All doctors without exception are obliged to heed the call to serve the Muslim populace in the event that they are sought in cases of first aid and operations. 2. All hospitals are obliged to offer medical service in what pleases God- Almighty and Exalted is He- in all events of bombing and disasters inside the areas of the Islamic State for free. And this is the least that they should do because we are in a state of war. 3. All who refrain from or slack off in undertaking this duty are to be considered to be cooperating with the Crusader and Nusayri coalition and upon them will come Shari'i reckoning. 4. The Islamic State thanks all doctors, nurses and medical staff who undertake their obligations in service of the Muslim populace and offers special thanks to the men of the Civil Defence and Ambulance Sans Frontieres. And God is the one behind the intention. NB: Ambulance Sans Frontieres is a humanitarian NGO providing emergency ambulance services in eastern Aleppo countryside, based in al-Bab.

No. 33

Corresponding to 26 Jumada al-Awal 1437 AH [6 March 2016] Wilayat Aden-Abyan Warning and alarm From the soldiers of the Islamic State to the female students to Aden model school as they claim. As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu It has come to our attention, to our dismay and anger, what we have witnessed among some of the students from wearing the short clothing- the so-called al-balto or overcoat: this dress is of the dress of the Jews, Christians and dress of the disbelievers, having nothing to do with Islam. For it is a path to the removal of modesty and to vice. Always has been, always will be [Arabic proverb]. So we, the soldiers of the Caliphate proud of the religion of God, warn against the wearing of these clothes after the issuing of this publication and we give a deadline of 3 days only and warn that the one who takes it upon oneself to continue wearing this clothing, we will apply against that person the ruling of God's law and will undertake what God has obligated upon us. So by God may we establish the law of God, by God may we establish the law of God So long as the Islamic State is remaining and expanding. And indeed the mouthes of our rifles are thirsty and we will quench them with the blood of whosoever has violated the law of God and has followed the followers of the Jews and Christians. For we do not sleep over injustice, so by explosives we will roast your bodies and by IEDs we will harvest your souls. And we warn the father of the female student to change her clothes before he gathers her in baskets. And indeed we disavow to God after this warning. And God is predominant over His affair NB: The statement has a large number of typos, but fits into a wider pattern of IS threats and intimidation aiming to impose its vision of Shari'a in Aden (cf. Specimen 12T above, and wider reporting). According to a report from the Emirati site 24.ae, the school threatened here is located in al-Mansura neighbourhood in Aden. The distribution of this statement reportedly provoked local anger, but the Saudi-led coalition and its allies have tended to downplay an IS presence in Aden. Indeed, 24.ae quotes a "leadership source in the national army in Aden" as denying the existence of IS in Aden and portraying claimed IS members as agents of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh (currently working with the Houthis): "Indeed verifications with the members who have been detained in Aden on the presumption of Da'esh have established that they are affiliated with the deposed [Ali Abdullah] Saleh." He is further quoted as saying: "The attacks on the elderly home and the schools are an attempt by those agents [of Saleh] to upset the security situation in Aden." Specimen 13W: Mobilization call to reinforce fighting fronts in south Hasakah province Islamic State

Authorized Committee No.: 44.7n

Date: 29 Jumada al-Awal 1437 AH/9 March 2016 CE (Very urgent: to be distributed to the soldiers as soon as possible) In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To: all the mujahideen in the wilayas, Diwans and committees Subject: Mobilization call Praise be to God alone and prayers and peace be upon the one after whom there is no Prophet. As for what follows: As-salam alaykum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu. God Almighty has said: "So fight in the path of God. You are only held responsible for yourself. And encourage the believers. Peradventure God will restrain the might of those who have disbelieved. And God is stronger in might and stronger in punishment" (Nisa' 84) [Qur'an 4:84]. We need numbers of the honest, enduring mujahideen, to resist the disbelievers' campaign on the al-Shaddadi front and break and rout them by God's permission, so long as they have the following characteristics: 1. They pledge not to flee until they are killed in the path of God or God grants them victory.

2. Prepared to remain steadfast by God's permission under Crusader aircraft even as they take up all available safety measures.

3. They do not consider, are not influenced and do not worry about false rumours stirred up by rumour-mongers, those who sneer and those inciting to abstain from fighting. So we ask whoever meets these criteria to hurry to register his name at the War Committee. May God reward you best. Islamic State

Specimen 13X: Prohibition on tobacco, Liwa Shuhada' al-Yarmouk (July 2015) Shuhada' al-Yarmouk In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Praise be to God who has glorified us with Islam and placed humiliation and lowliness on whoso has deviated from the straight path. And prayers and peace be upon the one whom God- Almighty and Exalted is He- sent as a mercy to the worlds, as well as all his family and companions. As for what follows: We in Shuhada' al-Yarmouk did not come out in our jihad except to support the religion of God- Almighty and Exalted is He- and establish His law on this earth. And indeed it is from the law of God for whose sake we have come out that we condemn the one who has openly flaunted rebellion against God- Almighty and Exalted is He- and indeed among the acts of rebellion that have spread in our land is the rebellion of selling tobacco in shops and on roads. For God- Almighty and Exalted is He- has forbidden tobacco in His words: "And He makes lawful for them good things and prohibits for them harmful things." And indeed tobacco is among the harmful things that God has forbidden on the Muslims and indeed the wealth that tobacco merchants accumulate is forbidden wealth, so fear God, oh servants of God, and do not consume or feed your children what is forbidden. For indeed God Almighty is good and only accepts what is good. So we ask our brothers who own shops not to sell tobacco, and to work with us to establish God's law in the land. For God Almighty has ordered us to cooperate on the basis of piety and fear of God, for He has said: "And cooperate on the basis of piety and fear of God, not sin and enmity." And indeed from cooperation on the basis of piety is the abandoning of selling what God- Almighty and Exalted is He- has forbidden. So we will put on trial all who sell tobacco and aid in the spreading of rebellion against God- Almighty and Exalted is He- on His earth. Oh God, indeed we have conveyed. So be witness. And praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds. NB: Obtained via the IS member who has served as Liwa Shuhada' al-Yarmouk's deputy Hisba amir. By virtue of the group's connections with IS (despite the lack of a declared allegiance pledge), the statement is included in this archive.

Accusation: Wanting to abandon jihad Specimen 14C: Water conservation measures, Raqqa Diwan al-Khidamat Praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds and prayers and peace be upon the one sent as a mercy to the worlds. As for what follows: Following the command of the Messenger of God (SAWS), and reviving his Sunna and desiring to implement it in our daily lives, and with the spread of the phenomenon of squandering and excess in the use of water, and the absence of a culture of storing water and right guidance in its use, we inform the subjects of the Amir al-Mu'mineen- may God protect him- that legislation programs to conserve water in the city will begin. Let it be known that it will begin by cutting off the water for one day of every three days and then it will be gradually increased by us with time out of a desire on our part to spread the culture of conserving water. Oh subjects of the Amir al-Mu'mineen, God has blessed His servants with many blessings that cannot be counted or numbered, and among the most important of these blessings is the blessing of water from which God has made every living thing, therefore we have been obliged not to reject this blessing and must attach the proper value to it, so that we should not be deprived from it. For whoever is endowed with a blessing and is not thankful for it, has left it and not realized. Our Lord- Blessed and Exalted is He- has forbidden us from squandering, for He has said: 'And do not squander: those who squander have been the brothers of Shayateen and Satan rejected his Lord." So He has warned that you will be of the brothers of Shayateen though you know it not, and squandering is not from the guidance of the Prophet (SAWS), but rather SAWS forbade that. For on the authority of Abdullah bin Mughfil: he said: "I heard the Prophet (SAWS) saying that there will be in this Ummah a people exceeding limits in tuhur and prayer." And tuhur is the water used in purification. The 'ulama have agreed on the prohibition on excessive use of water even on the coastline. For Ahmad and Ibn Maja have produced on the authority of Abdullah bin Amro' (may God be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (SAWS) passed by Sa'ad while he was performing ablution, so he said: 'What is this excess, Sa'ad?' He said: 'Is there excess in ablution?' He said: 'Yes, even if you are by a river.' And it has come in al-Mawsu'a al-Fiqhia (180/4): "And they have agreed that excess in use of water is disliked." Ibn al-Mubarak said: "One is not safe from sin if one increases ablution beyond three times." So consider brother, how the Legislator [God] has forbidden excess in use of water on the subject of worship. So what therefore do you think about what is besides worship from the needs of the material world? Indeed it is from the guidance of the Prophet (SAWS) to reduce use of water, for al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Anas (may God be pleased with him) that he said: "The Prophet (SAWS) used to wash- or wash himself- with the saa to 5 amdad, and perform ablution with the madd." And the madd roughly equates to half a litre of water. So this is what the Prophet (SAWS) used to perform ablution. As for washing oneself, this was with roughly three litres of water. So let your example be the Prophet (SAWS), so do not be excessive and do not squander, and be sure that the blessing should not be deprived for lack of preservation of it.

Date: 14 Dhu al-Qi'da 1436 AH/29 August 2015 CE In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds and the most preferable prayers and complete salutations be upon our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions. Judgement document This is what the judge has ruled on in the Diwan al-Qada wa al-Mazalim

Security case of no.

Brought by the Diwan al-Amn al-Aam

Against the defendant Abu Ahmad al-Lubnani

Concerning: Blasphemy against the Prophet (SAWS). Text of the judicial ruling After reviewing the case, sitting with the defendant, hearing his defence, and hearing the testimony of the witnesses, seeking help in God, the Powerful, the Firm. We have ruled as follows: The witnesses proved the defendant's blasphemy against the Prophet (SAWS), and that by the proof of a man and three women, and although the woman's testimony is not accepted in hudud, these testimonies are to be taken as indicative of the defendant's bad conditions as he did not condemn disbelief specifically or establish it. And it also became clear that he has strong links with the Turkish consulate and also has links with the Lebanese government and he did not condemn that. Therefore he will have fallen into apostasy through these links, so I have judged that he must be killed for apostasy. Islamic State

Diwan al-Hisba Wilayat Halab

Statement for distribution: 312

Jumada al-Akhir 1437 AH In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful The Almighty has said: "Those who follow the illiterate prophet, whom they find written among them in the Torah and Gospel, commanding them to do what is right and forbidding them to do what is wrong, making lawful for them good things and prohibiting them from evil things" (Surat al-'Araf 157) [Qur'an 7:157]. And the Almighty has said: "Do not toss yourselves by your own hands into destruction" (Surat al-Baqara 195) [Qur'an 2:195]. On the authority of Abu Huraira, may God be pleased with him, from the Prophet (SAWS): "Whosoever falls from a mountain and thus kills himself, is in Hellfire, having fallen into it and abiding in it forever. And he who drinks poison and thus kills himself, his poison will be in his hand as he drinks it in Hellfire, abiding in it forever. And whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, his iron weapon will be in his hand as he stabs his abdomen with it in Hellfire, abiding in it forever"- narrated by Muslim. Indeed the lines of evidence on the prohibition on smoking are clear, and they arise on one of the principles of religion concerning the protection of life and maintaining it, so everything that leads to corruption of life and wealth will be forbidden by agreement of the Ahl al-'Ilm, and there is no doubt that smoking is definitely harmful to the body by the consensus of the experts and so it will be forbidden. And on the consideration that smoking harms general health and destroys it, it is among the evil things, and the evil things are forbidden according to the text of the Noble Qur'an as in the Almighty's words in Surat al-An'am [sic: al-'Araf] 157: "And he makes lawful for them good things and prohibits them from evil things." Therefore it has been decided to punish all caught smoking or carrying a packet of cigarettes to pay 2g of 24 carat gold. And God is the guarantor of success and the one who guides to the straight path. Islamic State

Abu Mahmoud Hejazi NB: These documents were found by Kurdish forces following an attack by IS on a village the Hasakah-Tel Tamar route in Hasakah province. It appears the battalion from Aleppo province- named for one of the Companions of the Prophet- was redeployed to the northeastern front. The kunya names suggest the majority of the fighters are locals from Aleppo province (e.g. al-Safrani refers to someone from the Safira area to the east of Aleppo city), and the monthly salary system is as follows: $50 as the basic starting salary, with an additional $50 for each wife and an additional $35 for each male child below 15 years old (note that the youngest fighters in the battalion were born in 1999, meaning at the time of the assault they were 15-16 years old). Oddly, though a category is listed for parents to support, there is no indication of extra benefits for parents to support, as entries 77. and 78., for instance, both show a salary of $50 despite the fact 78. has 2 parents to support. With none of the fighters having sabaya [sex slaves], it is not possible from these documents to tell what benefit is conferred per sex slave and child of sex slave. Note also that nothing here supports the oft-circulated notion that foreign fighters are necessarily better paid.

Statement for distribution no. 66

Jumada al-Akhir 1437 AH [March-April 2016 CE] In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful The Almighty has said: "Go forth, lightly and heavily armed, and wage jihad with your wealth and lives in the path of God. That is best for you if you knew"- Tawba 41 [Qur'an 9:41]. And the Almighty has said: "Fighting has been prescribed for you, though you dislike it. And it may be that you dislike something that is good for you and it may be that you dislike something even as it is good for you, and it may be that you love something even as it is bad for you, and God knows and you do not know"- al-Baqara 216 [Qur'an 2:216]. And God's Messenger (SAWS) said: "God takes care of the one who goes out in His path and 'being brought out only by jihad in My path, and faith in Me, and believing in My messengers. Thus he can be sure that I will bring him into paradise, or that I return him to his abode obtaining what he has obtained from reward or spoils.' And by the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad: the wound that one receives in the path of God, one will come with it in the exact same condition on the Day of Judgment as when one received it, its colour being the colour of blood and its smell being the smell of musk. And by the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad: were it not too hard upon the Muslims, I would never lag behind a squadron launching a raid in God's path, But I do not have the means to convey them, nor do they have the means. And it is hard for them to stay behind me. And by the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad, I should desire to fight in God's path and be killed, then fight and be killed, then fight and be killed." The companions of the Messenger of God (SAWS) and those who followed them with ihsan were completely aware of the grace of jihad in the path of God and its greatness. And that is what instigated them to compete among each other towards it and rivalry in it. And the elders of the companions, may God be pleased with them, would launch expeditions even as they had grown old, and the people urged them and advised them to stay back from expeditions, on the grounds that they were excused. So they would respond that Sura al-Tawba [Qur'an 9] forbade them from staying back, and they feared for themselves that they would be guilty of hypocrisy if they stayed back from expeditions. Therefore the Majlis Shura of the Wilaya has decided to impose going out for jihad on every admin official and employee of the wilaya in all the emirates, on account of the great pressure that has come upon the Dawla's army, which has led to its withdrawal from multiple areas in the wilayas of Homs and Aleppo. And all who contravene or refuse will be held to account, and God is the guarantor of success.

General Committee 1435 AH Statement for distribution no. 6 In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful "And tell My servants to say that which is best: indeed Satan sows dissension among them. Indeed Satan has always been a clear enemy to God"- al-'Isra 53 [Qur'an 17:53]. Praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Imam of the Mujahideen, our Prophet Muhammad and all his family and companions. As for what follows: There has spread in recent times and in a form attracting attention the phenomenon of discussing rulings of takfir built on issues derived from 'excuse by ignorance', and despite the fact that the direction of the Dawla is clear from this issue, whereby there cannot be excuse by ignorance in al-shirk al-akbar, nonetheless some of the ignorant and tendentious folks have striven to stir up these issues in a manner that plant the seeds of division and discord among the soldiers of the Islamic State in the bases, ribat points, expeditions and other things besides those in what we consider is leading definitively to Satan planting seeds of discord among them in this dangerous stage, as the creeds of disbelief have come together in all their forms and on all levels to wage war on the Islamic State. And this is what we have known well from similar states we have lived through in prior stages from the path of jihad. Thus it is absolutely forbidden to discuss issues derived from the case of 'excuse by ignorance' on all levels in the Islamic State without special permission from the General Committee, and it is forbidden to publish audio, visual and reading materials discussing it. And the matter will be tracked and violators will be held to account with punishments of deterrence, pushing back the imminent evil resulting from the violation of this directive. And praise be to God the Lord of the Worlds. Specimen 15E: Regulations for pharmacies, Deir az-Zor province (November 2014) Islamic State
