The Lifting of the Obligation of Jihad if the Ruler Prevents It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: If scholars issue a ruling that jihad is obligatory, and the ruler prevents it, is the obligation lifted? And does the ruling on jihad differ from one country to another in this situation?
Answer:
Which scholars are issuing the ruling? Mention to us the scholars who are issuing the ruling, and give us half of their fatwa, and we will read it, reflect on it, and apply it to the Book and the Sunnah, and see. And who is the ruler who prevented jihad? Leave us alone from these matters; these provocations are not our concern. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
