Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is what we supplicate with when we say, “O Allah, establish the banner of jihad,” considered wishing to meet the enemy, which is prohibited?
Answer:
No, this is a supplication for jihad. It is a supplication for jihad, because if jihad is not established, harms occur. So it is a supplication for the establishment of lawful jihad. Lawful jihad is not the kind of jihad that some ignorant people think it is. No, it is lawful jihad that meets its conditions. This is a form of supplication. Yes.
