Question:
There are also many questions regarding the situation in Mali. One of the brothers, a student from Mali, asks: Is what some Malians who sympathize with al-Qaeda, the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, and the Barakati movement did against the Malian government considered jihad in the path of Allah, even though they have now started carrying out suicide bombings in the city? Also, a number of brothers ask: What is our position on what is happening in Mali?
Answer:
I do not speak about the affairs of others or other countries. These are matters I have not looked into, I do not know their causes, and I do not speak about them. We speak about enjoining good and forbidding evil and the conditions governing it, but speaking about other countries is not my concern, my brothers. Yes.
