Are there any martyrs today in the Gulf War?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, I have a question regarding the Gulf War. Are those who are dying, for example, from both sides considered martyrs, or not?
The Shaykh : Where are the martyrs? Where are they? Where are the martyrs today? Do you think there is anyone fighting in the cause of Allah?
The questioner : ... It does not appear to me that there is.
Another questioner : Are they fighting in the cause of Allah?
Another questioner : No, I have no question...
The Shaykh : Unfortunately, all the combatants are being directed by foreign direction. The Muslims are fighting each other to execute a plan. I will not say now that it is foreign, nor will I say it is hellish. If they knew, well... it would happen.
The questioner : It would happen.
The Shaykh : No, for us it would not happen, but for you it would happen. Excuse me, where did we get to? What were we before? I forgot the first case.
The questioner : Do you want, Shaykh, to ring the bell? What is it called that is being raised?
