Distinguishing between the Shari'ah jihad and the innovated jihad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Many callers to jihad in some of the lands of Islam, is what is happening today in Iraq and Syria the Shari'ah jihad? And how do we distinguish between the Shari'ah jihad and the innovated jihad?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distinguished between the Shari'ah jihad and other things. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever fought so that the Word of Allah is supreme, then he is in Allah's cause.من قاتل لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا فهو في سبيل الله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1646Sahih (Darussalam)
. And the jihad must be under the leadership of the one in authority or his deputy. It is not permissible for the jihad to be chaos without a banner. Without a banner that the one in authority of the Muslims establishes. This is chaos, and this is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), these are evils. So any fighting that is not under a Shari'ah banner, the banner of the one in authority of the Muslims, is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and not jihad. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
