Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "One of is a branch of hypocrisy," what is the meaning of this hadith?
Answer:
I say, and Allah knows best, that it is obligatory for the Muslim to believe in the obligation of jihad in the cause of Allah. He must believe in the obligation of jihad in the cause of Allah. If he is able to fight in jihad, he fights in the cause of Allah. If he is not able, he intends in his heart that if he becomes able and jihad occurs, he will fight in the cause of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. As for the one who says that jihad in the cause of Allah is injustice, and that the religion of Islam is a religion of aggression and a religion of killing, or who says that nowadays they write in the newspapers that there is no jihad in Islam, that there is no jihad in Islam, that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and a religion of... and there is no jihad in it at all, this is denying a pillar of Islam. Some scholars counted jihad as the sixth pillar of Islam. The one who says that there is no jihad in Islam, but that it is a religion of reconciliation, peace, and tolerance, is denying a pillar of Islam. He is denying the peak of Islam, about which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "And its peak is jihad"Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12:797. He is denying the verses and hadiths intentionally, so he is a disbeliever. But if he is ignorant and does not know, then he is misguided. May Allah protect us from that. It is necessary to know jihad in the cause of Allah and the rulings of jihad in the cause of Allah. People are between two extremes: some deny it and say there is no jihad in Islam, that jihad is aggression, and that Islam is not a religion of aggression. And some people say that jihad is obligatory on everyone and does not require an imam and does not require... and they make it chaos. This is the opposite of the first.
So jihad is a right, but it has regulations, rulings, and restrictions that must be known. This is the middle path, this is the middle path in jihad: no excess and no deficiency. Yes.
