Is there any legitimate jihad in this time?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there any legitimate jihad in this time, and where does it exist?

Answer:
As you know and have heard, jihad does not occur except when the Imam, the Imam of the Muslims, executes it by deploying the troops for jihad in the path of Allah. This is what jihad is. As for chaos, where everyone carries a weapon and the people are divided into factions, this causes harm. It has been tried and produced nothing but discord and fighting. In the end, the result is zero, because every faction wants to take control and overcome the others. So fighting breaks out between them; they leave off fighting the enemy and fight among themselves. This is something that has happened, and you know it.
Jihad must be organized by the one in authority over the Muslims, who takes charge of it and organizes it. If it is not so, it is not jihad, but rather fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
