Seeking the Aid of Disbelievers to Fight Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah, is it permissible to seek the aid of errors to harm Muslims?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to seek the aid of disbelievers to fight Muslims, even if the Muslims are rebels. It is not permissible to seek the aid of a disbeliever to fight a Muslim. Yes. Rather, it is permissible to seek the aid of disbelievers under two conditions: first, that there is a dire necessity and pressing need for it, and second, that the fighting is against disbelievers. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) caught the pigeon of the hundred before proceeding in the mosque.
The Shaykh:
Is the Ba'ath Party in Iraq Muslim? During the Gulf War, they were Muslims. I mean, some people compare this and say, "You are seeking the aid of disbelievers to fight Muslims." Who said they are Muslims? They are Ba'athists.
