Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The question asks: What is the ruling on working in the military sector, specifically in the army, regarding clothing, saluting, and marching to military music, and other matters? And are the soldiers stationed on the borders considered those who are stationed (murabitin) and those who strive in the path of Allah (mujahidin)?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to abandon imitating the enemies of Allah in music and other things that are among the morals of the enemies of Allah. It is obligatory for the army and the responsible authorities to abandon what involves imitating the enemies of Allah. This is the obligation for everyone.
The questioner:
If you complete the question, may Allah reward you. He says: And are the soldiers stationed on the borders in the army considered those who are stationed (murabitin) and those who strive in the path of Allah (mujahidin)?
The Shaykh:
They are stationed on the borders, and they are stationed on the borders. We hope for them great good. A day of stationing in the path of Allah is better than the world and all that is in it. A day of stationing is better than fasting a month and standing in prayer during it. And in the hadith:Sahih al-Bukhari 2892 We hope for them great good in it.
