The Ruling on Jihad in Iraq and How to Support the Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We love you for the sake of Allah. What is the ruling on jihad in the occupied Iraq by the Crusaders? And what is the way to support our brothers in Iraq and the Islamic countries occupied by the Crusaders?

Answer:
Jihad is among the competencies of the Imam of the Muslims. If he orders it and mobilizes you, then prepare yourselves.
When you are called to mobilize, then mobilize.اذا استنفرتم فانفروا
what is [the matter] with you that, when you are told to go forth in the cause of Allah, you adhere heavily to the earth?مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ
[At-Tawbah 9:38]
Jihad is among the competencies of your ruler. You are under his authority. What is this? It is not chaos; it is regulated by regulations. You are under the command of your ruler. If he orders you to fight jihad and you are able to do so, then fight. Yes.
