The reward for buying horses for jihad or for recreation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And if the one who bought horses was for enjoyment.

The presenter:
And he said in his intention that if jihad comes, he will enter the jihad and spend on them, and their dung, is that in his scale of good deeds?

The Shaykh:
It returns to good as long as he prepares them, it returns to them.

The presenter:
Because.

The Shaykh:
The passage is invalid.

The presenter:
But if he is tired of riding them, meaning for recreation.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, but the one who prepares them for jihad gets reward, and the one who does not prepare them for his need gets no reward and no benefit.

The presenter:
Yes, yes.

The Shaykh:
If he prepares them for jihad, he gets reward.

The presenter:
In places where he, may Allah forgive you, has set up arenas for horses, the person went and said he will count it.

The Shaykh:
And if it is for riding them for the sake of Allah, he gets reward for it. But if it is for relaxation, and it does not detract from jihad, no, no, and there is no burden on him.

The questioner:
I seek Allah's forgiveness until the Hour.

The Shaykh:
Nothing has any value.

The presenter:
It brings us wives, cars, and airplanes.

The Shaykh:
First, as long as his intention is that he resorted to it, he teaches the one in authority aviation, he teaches people other weapons, types of cars, types of throwing with catapults, cannons, types of weapons in airplanes, naval vessels as well, and other such qualities.
