Question:
It is part of enjoining good and forbidding evil, and the greatest of that is jihad in the path of Allah. So what is the ruling on jihad now? What is its ruling with the Afghans? What is the ruling on jihad with wealth? Then what is the ruling on jihad with life alongside them? Give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Jihad is obligatory for the one who has the ability, whether with individuals or with groups. When there is the ability, jihad is obligatory upon the community that is capable of jihad with wealth and life, and upon helping these mujahideen with wealth and life, each according to his circumstances. The Muslims have given much good in helping our mujahideen brothers in the individuals, and we ask Allah to help them in the truth, to make them see clearly, to keep them firm, and to unite their word upon the truth.
