Comparing aerial jihad with naval and land jihad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is aerial jihad in our present time considered better than land and naval jihad as well?
Answer:
No, it is not like naval jihad. Naval jihad is more dangerous. Aerial combat is like that on land; one can land on the ground or descend by parachute and escape, or do something. But the one at sea has no way out; he has nothing but drowning, and there is no jihad in the cause of Allah. Yes, so aerial jihad is subordinate to land jihad. Yes.
