Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Regarding the author’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement about the Jahmiyyah and their denial of jihad, and in this age they have insulted the Qur'an and insulted the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they have occupied Bayt al-Maqdis and some of the lands of the Muslims, does their action necessitate the declaration of jihad against them by the rulers of the Muslims?
Answer:
Jihad is not established except with two conditions. First, jihad al-talab, meaning first that it must be under the banner of the one in authority. The second condition is that the Muslims must have the capability to fight. These two matters are necessary: there must be the capability to fight them. The second condition is that this must be by the order of the ruler of the Muslims, under a banner that the imam establishes for jihad in the path of Allah. Yes.
