Question:
What is the ruling on going to jihad, and on the one who goes while owing a pledge of allegiance to the one in authority? Is there sin in this person’s going, especially if it is with official permission from his job?
Answer:
He does not go except with permission from his state if they give him permission, or he resigns. If they give him permission, there is no harm. He does not go except with the permission of his parents as well, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded seeking their permission, or the permission of whichever of them is present, if they are Muslims. He seeks the permission of them, or of whichever of them is present. If they give him permission, there is no harm. If the state gives him permission, there is no harm. Or if he resigns and they give him permission, there is no harm. Yes.
