The Rules of Jihad and Its Continuation Until the Day of Resurrection

The questioner:
You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that jihad is established until the Day of Resurrection. Does this mean that I, as an individual from the community, or at the level of groups, need to choose? Or are there rules? I ask for clarification.

The Shaykh:
Jihad continues until the Day of Resurrection if its conditions are met. Among its conditions are the community and the imamate. It must be organized and overseen by the Muslim ruler (wali al-amr). He organizes the army, appoints commanders for the armies, and follows up on this jihad. As for individuals, no. This is not done for them, nor does it happen for them. And it brings harms to the community. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
In the books of creed, it is stated that jihad continues until the Day of Resurrection with the commanders. They said: with the commanders, whether they are righteous or sinful. That is, as long as their sin is not disbelief. Their sin is less than disbelief. One does not abandon jihad with the commanders of the believers. Yes.
