According to Assad AbuKhalil, professor at the Randolph-Mason Women's College in Virginia and a Lebanese specialist, in the Lebanese context a Fatwa is often more legitimate than any national law. This source added that the power of the Fatwa is linked to the power of the man issuing it. A Fatwa can also be a tool for a holy man or a leader or both to keep his organization tied together.
