The Ruling on One Who Departs for Jihad in the Cause of Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: One who goes ... intending the pleasure of Allah - Blessed and Exalted is He - ... intending the sword, and that it be said, if he lives ... people ... the Messenger of Allah that the word of Allah be the highest, secondly.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... secondly, one who is the head of a family, and you say like me, if he were like you, he would have appointed like me or like someone else; everyone has their own circumstances, right?
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh: Okay; therefore, it is not permissible and it is not possible to give a general ruling, and this is what I intended to clarify ... secondly.
Secondly, after drawing attention ... regarding the one who departed, let us assume that this is for him ... .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... he reminded me of what they say about us: "The tanner is barefoot and the weaver is naked" ... .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... from that: As long as he has a connection ... ... and the weaver is naked, so here you do not use it, because it is the position of Ibn Hajar ... .
The questioner : ... ... .
The Shaykh: ... yes, but this does not contradict the example ... so we return to what we were discussing, secondly, some intend ... to go to Afghanistan for jihad in the cause of Allah - Blessed and Exalted is He - , ... individual obligations are upon him; for example, if he is the head of a family, then if there is someone who takes care ... of the family, wife, mother, father, and children, at that time the son ... in the cause of Allah if he is able.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: I say, I said earlier that he was not the one to fulfill the obligations of these people, you are now ... married, you have no obligations toward your wife and children, this is from one aspect, from another aspect, as your father's son, and your father is still alive ... , but I am speaking in general terms now, despite that, they have no offspring except one son, this is not applicable to you, the blessing is in your brother ... is abundant, but you are married, you have a wife, you have children, so if you leave them and travel for jihad in the cause of Allah; is there someone who takes care of their affairs ... all of them, wife and children, as you do? So the answer: If there is ... then rely on Allah ... , and the speech is not directed at a specific person, I am speaking about rules, okay; if there is no one, then you are in jihad; as came in the authentic hadith: "That a man passed by the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - and some of his Companions were around him, so they mentioned his conduct and his diligence and his energy, and they said: If this were in the cause of Allah." He said - peace and blessings be upon him - : .
So, if there is no one to fulfill this duty in place of this father who is responsible for the wife and the child; then it is not permissible for him to neglect a duty to fulfill a duty, but if someone takes care ... of this family, for example, a brother of the family - for example - or a father, meaning the examples multiply and repeat, then at that time, if he provides them with maintenance sufficient for them until what Allah wills, a year or two years or more; and he goes out to jihad; then in this case, he combines between fulfilling the two duties, clear? This is it.
