Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the jihad of repulsion, and when does it occur?

Answer:
The jihad of repulsion is when an enemy attacks a town, even if this enemy is a rebellious Muslim from among the rebels or the Khawarij. It is an individual obligation (fard 'ayn) for every Muslim who is able to repel them.
