The claim that jihad is not feasible at this time

Question:
We say to you, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion of the one who says that jihad is not feasible at this time? He says that it is obligatory for the Muslims to make peace with the disbelievers, and that it is not permissible for them to establish jihad, because it falls under the category of throwing oneself into destruction.

Answer:
If the Muslims are unable to wage jihad and their enemy is stronger than them, then yes, they make peace with the disbelievers until Allah strengthens them and they are able to wage jihad. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah was not obligated to wage jihad due to the weakness of the Muslims and their inability to do so, and he was asking them for forgiveness, pardon, and to restrain their hands from them. But when they became strong and had power, they were commanded to wage jihad. Yes.
