Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the issue of jihad and its rulings, is it permissible for anyone to speak about it? And is it permissible to speak about it in the gatherings of the common people and others?
Answer:
Jihad is a great matter in Islam, and it is within the jurisdiction of the one in authority and the scholars, not within the jurisdiction of the common people, the half-educated, the ignorant, the followers of desires, or the Khawarij. It is not within their jurisdiction to speak about jihad. This is a great matter with rulings and conditions, and it is necessary to refer to the rulers among the scholars and the princes in this matter. They are the ones to whom the matter of jihad, speaking about it, and examining it is entrusted. Yes.
