Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh. You know, may Allah preserve and protect you, that there are our Muslim brothers in Chechnya. So what is the latest news of our Muslim brothers there? And what is your opinion of those who want to go there to fight in the path of Allah and to raise the word of Allah? And what are the conditions for fighting in the path of Allah? And is it obligatory for a married man to be dutiful to his parents if they do not need him?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah guide you.
The Shaykh : The news about them, and praise be to Allah, is good, if we look at the size of the unjust, aggressing forces relative to them. I mean: and their survival for this period, holding back and striving, is nothing but victory from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and a sign of the signs of Allah. How is this weak nation facing this unjust power that bombs the cities, villages, valleys, and roads day and night? And yet, praise be to Allah, they are still defending themselves. And we hear much good; we heard that a group of them came down from the mountains to break a siege by the Russians. When they came down, they feared that the Russians would notice them and destroy them, so Allah, the Exalted, sent down great snow and thick, dense fog. So these people passed by the Russian armies while they were not aware of them, until they broke the siege. This is how I heard it directly from those who spoke to us from there, and this is a blessing. As for going to them, someone who has a connection with them and is in the Kingdom told me that it is not advisable to go to them at the present time, because there is great snow and severe cold, such that the people of the region themselves, I mean: some of them die. And they say: We are waiting for our brothers to come when the warmth arrives, and if the warmth arrives, then welcome to them. Yes.
To La'naizah now.
