The ruling on a person working to meet his needs in the context of jihad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: You mentioned that jihad has different types. Does a person working to earn a livelihood for his family and meet their needs count as jihad?
Answer:
Do not declare a person a disbeliever. Yes, a person seeking to sit at the threshold of his own home and under his own control, thereby making people independent of others, is not in the path of Allah the Exalted. The path of Allah is broad; everything that involves the intention of good and doing benefit for the Muslims is in the path of Allah. Yes. May Allah reward you and your knowledge.
