摘要

Central to the conflict is the position of Islamic jurisprudence regarding the Yezidi community. The majority of Muslim scholars and jurists have categorized the Yezidis as an unacceptable group within Islamic law, thereby influencing the attitudes and behaviors of Muslims towards them. This creates a religious awareness among Muslims where in adherence to Islamic principles may necessitate hostility towards the Yezidis, given their perceived incongruence with prevailing religious norms. This Islamic perception of Yezidis and Yezidis raises the question of whether the Yezidis should conform to Islamic interpretations, potentially compromising their beliefs, or if Islam should accommodate the Yezidis and their unique religious identity. Their distinctive religious identity is one of the fundamental factors for the complexities of the relationship between Yezidi and Islam, and the persecution faced by the Yezidi community over the time.
