Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: This question concerns me and occupies my mind. He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said Question: Is it necessary for the existence of jihad and mujahideen in every era? And if so, is this present in our era? I ask your honor to be generous with an answer.
Answer:
First, I do not know this hadith. But the well-known hadith is that jihad continues in this Ummah with the rulers and the Muslim governors, continuing with the Muslim sultan until the last of this Ummah fights the Dajjal. That is what I know. And jihad, if its conditions are met, it is obligatory. But if the conditions of jihad are not met, it is postponed until the conditions are met. He the Exalted and Majestic said:[At-Taghabun 64:16] [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Makkah and the polytheists were harming him and harming his Companions, he was not commanded to fight due to their weakness and their inability. And he was not commanded to fight until after he migrated to al-Madinah and he had strength and he had Companions and he had an army. At that time, Allah commanded him to fight. Yes.
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: This question concerns me and occupies my mind. He says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said
A group from my Ummah will continue to fight in the cause of Allah until the command of Allah comes.
لا تزال طائفة من أمتي يقاتلون في سبيل الله حتى يأتي أمر الله.Answer:

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
