Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between jihad al-daf' (defensive jihad) and repelling the aggressor?
Answer:
The aggressor may be a Muslim. The aggressor may be a Muslim, and jihad al-daf' is when these disbelievers besiege a Muslim country, or they may be rebels who are not disbelievers, in which case they are repelled even if they are Muslims; this is called the war of the rebels.
