The Disagreement over Jihad and Clarifying the Ruling for the Youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And this person says: Is the disagreement currently occurring among Muslims regarding jihad like the disagreement that occurred among the Companions?
The Shaykh:
We do not repeat the question to you; we have answered it and it is finished. There is no jihad except with organization from the one in authority and preparation. You follow the authority and follow the one in authority. You must adhere to what the Muslims under their authority are doing. If the one in authority orders jihad, then whoever has the ability steps forward and registers for jihad. It must be organized; it is not a matter of taking one’s weapon and walking off. It must be organized so that one goes and registers his name with the mujahideen, it is recorded, organized, and he is placed under a Muslim banner. As for chaos like this, it is not permissible. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. What prompted me to read it is that a large number of questions have come regarding these topics, and we desire from your eminence that you clarify the Islamic ruling for the youth.
The Shaykh:
We have clarified it, we have clarified it, and we have repeated it, and praise be to Allah. As for the one who seeks the truth, the truth is clear. But as for the one who wants to be mistaken and wants to issue fatwas on his own, we cannot respond to people. Yes.
