Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, our Shaykh says: We are not military personnel, nor do we work in the sectors that fight in the southern regions. However, we go with the state to the facilities on the southern border to provide services to our valiant soldiers. Does the ruling on ribat (stationing at the frontier) include us?
Answer:
Yes, this is cooperation in righteousness and piety. If Allah wills, it includes you if you cooperate with those stationed at the frontier and provide for their needs, for then you share in their reward. Yes.
