The ruling on making a truce with disbelievers in an absolute sense?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The conspiracy or this conference. It means that the rulers are small, O Shaykh. Let them proceed in agreement with others. If the matter were clarified to the public opinion, they would choose the lesser of two evils and reduce the harm. We would agree with them. We would sign on to the existence.
Answer : Yes, it is not in our hands, O brother Yahya. What is your name? O brother Yahya, it is not in our hands. And making a truce with disbelievers in an absolute sense means abandoning jihad in the path of Allah. But the matter is not in our hands. Some scholars were confused by the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made a truce with the Jews when he first arrived in Madinah, without any condition and without any restriction, an absolute truce. But the one who cited this as evidence is not present with me so that I could take it up with him and respond. However, I suspect there is a difference between a person who enters a land of disbelievers and makes a truce with them—there were many Jews in Madinah, three tribes of Jews—and makes a truce with them based on what the truce stipulated, and a person who is in one land while the disbelievers are in another land.
