Comment on Just had someone say they are going to have a Fatwa put on me . What the hell does that mean? Do I need to report it or something?

From Wikipedia:

A fatwa is a legal ruling on a point of Islamic law (sharia) given by a qualified Islamic jurist (faqih) in response to a question posed by a private individual, judge or government.

So unless you live in a country that runs on Sharia law and have your real information connected to your account, you can safely ignore it.

You could report the poster for being mean if it goes against that community’s or instance’s rules. Up to you. But I think someone’s just being a troll.
