Does Ibn al-Qayyim’s division of the ranks of jihad discourage jihad against the disbelievers?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Whoever reads what Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned here regarding the ranks of jihad makes Muslims slack in their jihad against the disbelievers with weapons. He says that the texts did not come with such a division. Is this statement correct? And how should one respond to it?

Answer:
This is the speech of an ignorant person who is ignorant of Ibn al-Qayyim. Ibn al-Qayyim did not derive anything from his own opinion; he derived it from verses and from hadiths. It is the speech of the scholars of knowledge. He did not derive anything from his own opinion. And this makes jihad continuous without arrangement, without detail, and without this. It is ignorance. Yes. And this is what has befallen many of the enthusiasts now; they are in ignorance, not in knowledge. Yes. They cause more harm than benefit. Yes.
