The Ruling on Jihad in Lands Not Ruled by Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner cites the consensus of the scholars, such as Ibn Taymiyyah in *al-Ikhtiyarat* and al-Qurtubi in his *Tafsir*, that no condition is required for defensive jihad (jihad al-daf'), so a son may go out without his parents' permission. Is there no condition for jihad in Chechnya, Afghanistan, and Iraq?
Answer:
As for the people of Afghanistan and Chechnya in their own lands, their jihad is defensive jihad; they are fighting for their own lives. As for Muslims from outside their lands who are able to help them, it is recommended (mustahabb) for them to do so; it is recommended for them to assist them, but with two conditions: the permission of the ruler and the consent of the parents. Yes.
