Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What do you say about jihad in Kashmir?
The Shaykh: What is it?
The questioner : Regarding jihad in Kashmir, by Allah, this is how the message reached us; it was about Bosnia, about...
The Shaykh : There is no benefit in this research today, there is no benefit. We have said repeatedly that jihad requires psychological and military preparation. As for defense, that is obligatory, but one hand cannot clap.
The questioner : Are these words said during the drinking or after it?
The Shaykh : This is a legislation from Him. We drink with a cup... but to say this, no.
The questioner: It is not said.
The Shaykh : ... he says this? He said this to clarify, not every time he drinks he says this, to clarify, not every time he drinks he says this.
The questioner : He does it sometimes.
The Shaykh : Hmm.
The questioner : You do it sometimes, or do you not do it at all?
The Shaykh : If the context is one of clarification, he does it when clarification requires it. But as an act of worship, no. It is like raising the voice in the secret prayer. Raising the voice in the secret prayer is a recommended practice of keeping it secret, but if there is something that requires raising the voice in the secret prayer with some dhikr, there is no harm. But if he is praying secretly alone, it is not permissible for him to raise his voice, because this is contrary to the Sunnah.
