The Ruling on Jihad in the Time of Fitnah and Distinguishing Between Its Types

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on jihad in this time when fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) has become widespread? I mean jihad in its general sense?

Answer:
Jihad is obligatory, but according to one’s ability. Jihad against the self, jihad against Satan, jihad against the hypocrites, and jihad against the sinners—this is what is always required and remains continuous. It is jihad against the disbelievers with weapons that requires preparation and capability.
