Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is meant by jihad in the verse of Bara'ah? Is it the jihad of seeking or the jihad of repelling?
The Shaykh:
Which verse? Yes.
The questioner:
Say, if this is the greater.
The Shaykh:
This is not a jihad of this kind. This is prioritizing these desires over what Allah the Mighty and Majestic loves. A person loves these and is not blamed for loving them, but if he prioritizes them over the love of Allah, then he is blamed.
