I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'combat' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'part of fatwa results in' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ATWAR' is hidden in the letters of 'fatwa results in'.

Can you help me to learn more?
