The Shaykh's opinion on jihad in Afghanistan in the war against the Russians.

The Shaykh : For example, I believe that jihad is an individual obligation, while others may view it as a collective obligation. In that case, the difference between seeking knowledge and this jihad is not significant, as long as he considers it a collective obligation. As for me, I say that seeking knowledge, in the manner currently practiced with its gradual expansion, is not an individual obligation but a collective obligation. However, jihad in Afghanistan is an individual obligation, and it takes precedence over seeking knowledge, and it takes precedence over a collective obligation.
