Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The presenter sent you, Honorable Shaykh, and this questioner says: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:216]
The Shaykh:
Yes. "It was hateful to you" means that the souls find it hateful. This is a natural aversion, not a religious one. As for one who dislikes jihad with a religious aversion, he apostatizes from Islam. But a natural aversion is when the soul dislikes killing and wounding because it is difficult for it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Baqarah 2:216] Yes, this is a natural, psychological aversion, not a religious one. As for one who dislikes jihad religiously, he is an apostate from the religion of Islam. Yes.
The presenter sent you, Honorable Shaykh, and this questioner says: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you

May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you.
وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ
