Question:
This questioner says: What is your advice to those who discourage the youth from seeking knowledge and calling to the oneness of Allah, saying that knowledge is sufficient for now, and that the time is for jihad and mobilization in the path of Allah?
Answer:
Jihad is not possible without knowledge. The ignorant person does not fight in jihad, nor does he know; knowledge is essential. Jihad does not occur except after knowledge and understanding the rulings, the rulings of jihad, when it is prescribed and when it is not prescribed. Yes, and it does not become jihad if it is not based on a Sharia foundation, or if it does not meet the conditions of jihad; it does not become jihad.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
