Question:
If we know of someone who encourages youth to engage in jihad and gives them money without the permission of the one in authority, should we report him to the responsible authorities? And what is your advice for him and those like him?
Answer:
Yes. First, he should be advised. If he complies and refrains from this, praise be to Allah. If he does not comply, he should be reported to the rulers so that they can take action against him, lest he harm the Muslims and the children of the Muslims. This person sends the children of the Muslims to battles and to their destruction without benefit, while he sits here. The strange thing is that some of them preach and get excited, and the children of the Muslims go off, while he sits in his house eating and drinking. He sends the children of the Muslims away, encourages them, and urges them on, while he sits and does not go or do anything, even though all of this is invalid. But this is one of the strange contradictions they have. Yes.
