Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: There are many questions, may Allah preserve you, asking about the criterion for the Shari'ah ruling on jihad in the path of Allah, and whether it is required that jihad of defense be conducted under a banner?
Answer:
It must all be under a banner; without a banner, it cannot be regulated and it becomes chaos. Jihad in the path of Allah must be under a banner. This defense and the request must be under the banner of the one in authority, who regulates the jihad and regulates the people, preventing chaos. Yes.
