Going to jihad under a non-Muslim banner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a question similar to this, the questioner asks: What is the answer or response to the one who says, “I am going to jihad here or there because they are fighting in accordance with the correct methodology”?

Answer:
There is no jihad except under a Muslim banner, under the authority of the Muslim ruler. Otherwise, it is a form of chaos, not jihad. This brings more harm to the Muslims than it brings of benefit. Chaos ensues, blood is shed, and no benefit is realized from it; rather, it is harmful. Yes.
