The Shaykh Al-Albani’s affirmation that the Kuwaiti student was among those who formed a bad opinion of Abu Malik, and the explanation of the division of jihad into individual and collective obligations.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So, you are with the majority who erred in their understanding of Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq’s words, thinking that he was implying to the readers of his article or paper that Abu Malik denies jihad absolutely in this time, just as you say.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : In summary, may Allah bless you, there are two types of jihad, or rather, multiple types of jihad.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : There is an individual obligation of jihad and a collective obligation of jihad. The individual obligation of jihad is the defense of the land of the Muslims. Now, are there Muslims performing the individual obligation of jihad? I hope the answer to this question is brief, on the line we agreed upon, and then if you wish, you can elaborate.
The student : Yes, in my opinion, yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good. I tell you that you are mistaken. Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq is a bearer of the banner of urging jihad. Is he fighting with the sword now?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : So, how did you say that? So, he is negligent? So, he is abandoning the jihad that he encourages the youth for, and he accuses the innocent of denying jihad, while he is the one who actually denies it in action and admits it in speech? So, he is a sinner.
The student: No.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student: No.
The Shaykh : How is that, as long as jihad...
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : As long as jihad...
The student : ...do not be angry with me, O Shaykh, if I answer by saying, "Distinguish," meaning, heh heh, I am not a debater, but a beneficiary of your knowledge.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.
The student : I mean...
The Shaykh : I beg you.
The student : I agreed with the quick answer, but I condition that you do not get angry with me.
The Shaykh : Have you seen this?
The student : No, I have not seen it.
The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The student: Yes.
