Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his commentary on the Forty Hadiths that if a person’s intention in jihad is to exalt the word of Allah, and a worldly benefit that is mentioned in the Shari'ah is also present, then his reward is reduced. In Sahih Muslim, it is narrated from Abdullah ibn Abdullah.
Answer:
There is no doubt that even if he did not say it, it is permissible for him to do so, but his reward is reduced thereby compared to the one who fought with a pure intention and a pure niyyah (intention).
