The ruling on responding to the call of fighting Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:72] Some people say that it is obligatory for every Muslim to respond to the call of the fighting Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere, and that it does not fall off anyone, and that whoever does not respond is a sinner deserving of punishment, based on this verse. What is your comment, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
He did not complete the verse; if he had completed it, he would have known:[Al-Anfal 8:72] If there is a treaty between us and them, and we have made a covenant with them, it is not permissible for us to fight them until the treaty ends. Until the treaty between us and them ends. He did not complete the verse; he took the part that suits his purpose from it, the beginning, and left the rest.
The questioner says: Allah the Exalted said:
And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help
وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُAnswer:
He did not complete the verse; if he had completed it, he would have known:
And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty.
وَإِنِ اسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ النَّصْرُ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَاقٌ
