His brother, Abdullah Safi al-Din, represents Hezbollah in [[Iran]], and his son, Rida Safi al-Din, is married to [[Qasem Soleimani|QasemSoleimani's]] daughter. | |||
Safi al-Din believes that [[muslim|Muslims]], especially scholars, have a responsibility to defend the oppressed, particularly in the context of the [[Gaza blockade]]. He argues that if scholars can’t find a compelling reason in their teachings to support the people of Gaza, they should reconsider the relevance of their knowledge to [[Islam]]. | |||
At the memorial marking the fortieth day after Qasem Soleimani's [[martyrdom]], Safi al-Din stated that Soleimani’s sacrifice would ultimately lead to the expulsion of the United States from the region and the liberation of its peoples. | |||
