The Condition of a Banner in Defensive Jihad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are many questions, may Allah preserve you, asking about the criterion for the Shari'ah's jihad in the path of Allah, and whether it is required that defensive jihad be under a banner?
Answer:
All of it must be under a banner; without a banner, it will not be regulated and will become chaos. A banner is required for jihad in the path of Allah; this is necessary, whether it is defensive or offensive. It must be under the banner of the one in authority, to regulate the jihad, to regulate the people, and to prevent chaos. Yes.
