Al-Watan said that ???observers were surprised to see the fatwa issued in his name, in which he says: ???anyone permitting ikhtilat ??? or ikhtilat that leads to forbidden things ??? is permitting these forbidden things, and anyone who permits them is a kafir (unbeliever), making him an apostate, and he should be ???tried??? and if he doesn???t retract his words then it is a duty to kill him???.
