Is jihad against Iran and marching toward them obligatory for Muslims on the grounds that they are the bearers of the black banners?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yesterday there was a question about the black banners!
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : And marching toward them. The questioner intended, as we have been asked many times about this issue, that the Rafidah in Iran now require Muslims to support them and fight alongside them to spread the banner of Islam, as they claim. What is your guidance regarding this issue?
The Shaykh : What is built upon a defective foundation is defective, and what is built upon a weak foundation is weak. If the hadith were authentic, the argumentation based on it for what they claim would not stand, because the Shi'ah are misguided, so how can the Mahdi be with them? Especially since they come out every day waiting for his emergence from the underground chamber, which is their Khomeini who has died, and they have made his grave a Ka'bah. Will Muslims be victorious in such a situation?!
Some heads were deceived when Khomeini appeared with his call to the Islamic state—he claimed so. These deceived people were deceived because they were ignorant; they lived their lives shouting about establishing the Muslim state, but they did not know the conditions and pillars upon which the Muslim state can be established. When they heard the call of a caller from the East, without knowing what his belief contained of deviation from Islam, they rushed to him to pledge allegiance to him. Then the days began to reveal the reality of this so-called Islamic state, and it turned out to be a purely Shi'ah state, if not Rafidi. After that, these deceived people began to seek excuses for themselves and retreat from the enthusiasm they had shown for joining or supporting Khomeini's call. Books of his have appeared revealing that he is a pure, extremely fanatic Shi'ite regarding some ideas, and whoever adopts them, if he has not already committed disbelief and his affair is finished, is on the brink of a crumbling cliff. We used to read in some of their old books, such as *Al-Kafi* by al-Kulayni, phrases that declare disbelief, so we would think well and say: It is not reasonable that some contemporary Shi'ah scholars would adopt them. But Khomeini is among those who adopt some beliefs of disbelief, such as preferring the People of the House over all the angels, messengers, and prophets, and that they know the unseen, and the like of that which is in direct contradiction with the Book and the Sunnah.
