Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how does a Muslim clear his conscience toward his Muslim brothers regarding the killing and aggression they are subjected to? Does he go to jihad with them, or is it sufficient for him to help them with his wealth, or does he suffice with supplicating for their victory and establishment?

Answer:
This follows what the ruler of the Muslims commands. You are under the authority of a ruler, and it is the ruler who looks into these matters. If he commands helping them with wealth, help them with wealth. If he commands helping them with jihad and mobilizing armies to help them, do so. If this does not happen, supplication is not prohibited. You supplicate for the Muslims, for their victory, and for the disbelievers, for their humiliation and degradation. No one is prevented from supplicating. As for the matter of wealth and the matter of providing men, this follows the ruler of the Muslims, and he looks into the interest of the Muslims. Yes.
