Jihad in Afghanistan and Seeking Permission from the Parents

Question:
And the same applies to the degree of the ruling on jihad in Afghanistan. If it is an individual obligation, is it necessary to obtain the consent of the parents, and likewise the brothers?

Answer:
As for what you are doing, we ask about the group of the village there, and we look at the matter in this regard. As for jihad in Afghanistan, it is among the most important deeds: jihad with wealth and jihad with the self. They are planning to provide assistance. We ask Allah to unite their word on good, and we ask Allah to guide them and unite their word on truth, so that the assistance is more effective, and so that they know what to do in assisting them. For the division now is not truly beneficial; in fact, it is harmful to the jihad and harmful to them, and in reality, it is an opportunity for their enemies. We ask Allah to unite them on truth and guidance, and we ask Allah to help the Muslims everywhere to assist them with wealth and selves. Whoever wants to fight with them must seek permission from his parents if they are alive. If they give him permission, let him fight with his self. As for wealth, there is no requirement to seek permission in this case; if he has wealth, he fights with wealth.
