The Ruling on Jihad in Oppressed Muslim Lands and Its Types

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: We know what is happening to our brothers in Afghanistan, and in other Muslim lands such as Palestine, Kashmir, and Chechnya, and the aggression of the disbelievers against them. So I ask for clarification of the ruling on jihad in these lands? I ask for clarification of jihad in these countries: is it an individual obligation or a collective obligation? And what are the types of jihad that can be performed if a Muslim is unable to participate with his own person?

Answer:
We said in a previous lesson that jihad is not established except under a banner, under a banner, under leadership and authority. As for without authority or without leadership, it is not established under any leadership.
But if a person is afflicted, he defends himself; if he is afflicted, he defends himself. The people in those lands, when the Jews attack them, they defend themselves; they cooperate among themselves to defend against their enemy, the Jews. This is self-defense. As for jihad, it is not established except with a Muslim goal, as for jihad, it is not established except with a Muslim goal, under an authority that leads and organizes it. In any case, the Muslim supplicates for the Muslims in any place; he strives to supplicate for the Muslims for victory and support, and he supplicates against the stability, destruction, and ruin of the disbelievers. He increases his supplication, and he also helps the needy, from the needy families and the poor, by donating to them. Because they need assistance, he asks for them, he helps them with supplication, he helps them with money that removes their need, poverty, and hardship.
