Jihad in the Path of Allah in This Era
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you. I said: One of the causes of Allah’s love for the servant is jihad in the path of Allah. But in these times, jihad is difficult. How I wish you would guide us to a place where we can fight in the path of Allah?
Answer:
Jihad, provided its conditions are met and its requirements are fulfilled. As for chaotic jihad that is not based on a Sharia foundation, this is not jihad; this is destruction; this is chaos. If a banner is raised for the Muslims under the authority of the ruler of the Muslims, and he leads it or executes it, then the Muslim fights in the path of Allah under this banner, under the banner of the ruler of the Muslims. But if he takes up arms and goes to kill people, this is chaos, and this is not of jihad; this is destruction and inciting the disbelievers against the Muslims. Yes.
