Does every state have an imam, and if he orders jihad, is it obligatory to mobilize in response to his order?

Question:
Some say that the Muslims today do not have a unified imam. So, is it said that every state has its own imam, and if he orders jihad, they are obligated to mobilize in response to his order?

Answer:
My brother, whoever takes control of a country in one of the lands is the imam, and the second country has its own imam and its own state. This has been the case for a long time. The Islamic states have been fragmented, but every group is with its imam, and every land is with its imam. He has the ruling of the imam with respect to them; he has the ruling of the imam with respect to them. This has existed for a long time in Islam: Islam became states, several states, and every group obeys its imam, as mentioned by scholars such as Imam al-Shawkani and others. Yes, obedience to them is obligatory. Yes.
