Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We take the question from the papers, and I am speaking about questions regarding jihad in Iraq, and the role of Muslims in supporting their brothers, the people of the Sunnah, in Iraq.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the people of Iraq are oppressed without a doubt, and they are being transgressed against; they are being transgressed against and oppressed. Therefore, they must defend their land, themselves, and their offspring. This is jihad in the path of Allah. Their defense of their sanctities is jihad in the path of Allah, the Exalted. And our duty is to cooperate with them financially, to supply them with money, to pray for their victory and support, to disapprove of their enemy, to disapprove of the aggressors, and to make clear their aggression and their evil. This is our duty. Yes.
The questioner:
Questions have come to you, Shaykh, about the ruling on going to them.
