Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is fighting the group that refuses to adhere to the apparent laws of Islam specific to the one in authority, such that no one else may fight them?

Answer:
All fighting is tied to the one in authority; it is not permissible except in following the one in authority. Fighting without the one in authority is chaos. There is fighting in the path of Allah, but Allah did not command us to do this, Allah did not command us to do this, even as
the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah "بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ إِذْ قَالُوا لِنَبِيٍّ لَّهُمُ ابْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًا نُّقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:246]
, there must be one leader who controls them and leads them to jihad; they did not go and take their swords and go
Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allahابْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًا نُّقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:246]
. Yes.
