The Ruling on Jihad if the Ruler Prevents It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If the scholars issue a ruling that jihad is obligatory, and the ruler prevents it, does the obligation drop? And does the ruling on jihad differ from one country to another in this situation?
Answer:
The scholars mention to us that they issue rulings and answer us with the text of their fatwa, and we read it, reflect on it, and see if we can apply it to the Book and the Sunnah, and see. And who is the ruler who prevented from jihad? Leave us alone from these matters and these provocations, even though there is a point in it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
