Ayatollah's decree (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fatwa

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">ayatollah's decree</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for fatwa that I've seen before include "Muslim ruling" , "Legal ruling by Islamic religious leader" , "Islamic decree" , "threat" , "death sentence?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
