The Wisdom of Jihad in Palestine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Given what he sees and hears of the events taking place in Palestine, and how the Jews are killing Muslims, old and young, men and women, and even burying them alive, and doing with them what Allah knows best, what is the ruling on jihad against them and supporting them? And what is the ruling on Muslims who do not help them, but rather stand as mere spectators, even though they have the ability to do so?
Answer : Based on what we have heard, the Jews killed the Palestinians and subjected them to severe torment after what they call the Intifada, and Allah knows best. Is this a factual reality, or were the Palestinians deceived into making this move, so that the Jews would eliminate them?
Allah knows best, but in any case, what is fitting for us is to assist these people in what they are facing of trials and harm in every way. And according to what I have heard, these Palestinians in the occupied lands have turned to Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and there are now awakened young men among them, as is the case, praise be to Allah, in many countries. They have made this move, which is an Islamic movement, not a national one, but an Islamic one, seeking to rid themselves of the Jews who are occupying Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It is known that if the movement is an Islamic one to save the land from disbelief, then it is jihad in the path of Allah, and jihad in the path of Allah is among the duties of Muslims and among the responsibilities of Muslims.
However, it will be a long road for the Palestinians, because they are isolated and cannot carry weapons due to the strong control the Jews have over them.
So the matter requires what they call sacrifices, and patience and time until Allah the Exalted brings victory, yes.
