Jibreen issued a Fatwa against Hezbollah on July 24, 2006, declaring it illegal for Muslims to join, support, or pray for militant group Hezbollah.
His intolerant fatwas and statements promoted intolerance, violence, or hatred, especially against Shias. These fatwas pose a grave threat not only the population of the Arabian Peninsula but the neighbor countries and they led Muslim Youths to join with the so-called Jihad against Moslems in other countries.
On December 7, 2006 , Jibreen issued a fatwa published on his website that defined "Shias" as non-Muslims, which many viewed as grounds for violence against Shias. He said in that fatwa, “The rejectionists (Shias) in their entirety are the worst of the Islamic nation’s sects. They bear all the characteristics of infidels . They are in truth polytheist infidels, though they hide this. The Sunni and Shia schools of Islam are opposites that can never agree; there can be no coming together”.

He urged Saudi government to call Shia who lived in Qatif, al-Madina al-Munawwara and Najran to the true Islam , unlike , it should force them to do that.
He also called the King Abdullah to prevent Shias from entering the diplomatic corps, military and non-designate senior positions in the state and continue to crush their children in universities and jobs.
