Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: If a state is occupied and it has no strength, do they defend themselves and fight them, or not?
Answer:
If they are able to defend themselves against the aggressors in their land, it is obligatory for them to do so. This is the jihad of defense, repelling the aggressor. Yes. As for if they have no strength, they do what they can to ward off the danger of the enemy, either by mitigating the harm or by removing the harm. Yes.
