What is Freemasonry, and what is the Islamic ruling concerning it and joining it?

Freemasonry is a secret political society that aims to abolish religions and morals, replace them with man-made laws, and seeks to instigate continuous revolutions under the guise of freedom of thought. They have declared that they seek to wage war on religion and annihilate religious people.

Freemasonry derives its foundations and teachings from Jewish traditions, and the Jews are the hidden force behind Freemasonry, secretly managing its affairs and directing it. The Jews have considered Freemasonry the best means to destroy religions, and its history resembles the history of the Jews in belief, with their emblem being the hexagonal Star of David.

Freemasonry presents itself as an advocate for freedom, tolerance, and reform, but its true nature is an invitation to permissiveness, decadence, and the destruction of divine laws and morals.

Among Muslims, whoever was a member of it while knowing its true nature is a disbeliever who must be asked to repent. As for whoever joined it unknowingly of its true nature, he is not a disbeliever; rather, he is excused, and he must disavow them and expose their true nature to the people.
