The ruling on considering fighting in the path of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And in the days of Tashriq, may Allah protect you, if one prays in the context of warning about war against the disbelievers, is that considered in the path of Allah or not?
Answer:
The intention must not be merely to liberate the land. The intention must be to exalt the word of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and to repel the disbelievers from the Muslims, protecting the religion from the disbelievers. The intention must not be for the land. If the intention is merely for the land, then it is not in the path of Allah. Excellent. For the sake of the land only.
