Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, may Allah reward you, about what he can offer to his brothers in Syria and al-Sham, and whether jihad is obligatory in such a time or not?
Answer:
Jihad is obligatory when the one in authority calls for it. If the one in authority of the Muslims calls for it and forms troops for jihad, then it becomes obligatory for whoever has the ability, and whom the imam has mobilized, to mobilize. "So when you are mobilized, mobilize,"[At-Tawbah 9:38] when [At-Tawbah 9:38]? Jihad must be under the authority of the Muslim ruler.
As for individuals, where everyone takes a sword and weapon, this produces nothing. This results in the shedding of blood, not in the unity of word, and it produces nothing. This is a tried and real matter. Our duty is to supplicate for our Muslim brothers, supplicating for their victory, supplicating for their success, and supplicating against those who wronged them. Yes.
