Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I ask Allah for your well-being, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Disbelievers with whom the Muslims have a treaty. Yes. Disbelievers with whom the Muslims have a treaty. Yes, indeed. So these disbelievers attacked other Muslims. Is it permissible for the Muslims who have a treaty to support the Muslims who were wronged? Whether by request or without request?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to break a treaty unless there is a condition in it, such as: "If you fight the Muslims, the treaty between us and you is broken,"[Al-Anfal 8:72] except [Al-Anfal 8:72] then you must help them, and if they seek your help in religion
The questioner:
it is incumbent upon you to support them.
The Shaykh:
[Al-Anfal 8:72] Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And he says:[At-Tawbah 9:7] Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
