The Ruling on Going to Jihad in Chechnya and Yugoslavia
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The one who goes to Chechnya and Yugoslavia for jihad, is he considered among those who strive in the path of Allah?
I heard the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (Whoever fights so that the word of Allah is the highest, he is in the path of Allah) As for Chechnya, did they ask us to come to them? Because, my brothers, if they did not ask us for this, we would become a burden on them, because everyone needs expenses, and needs weapons, and needs a place, so we would be a burden on them. Then, secondly, perhaps this mujahid who went from another country to Chechnya might be discovered by the Russian soldiers,They say: So this state or republic harbors the people of terrorism, and there is harm in that. The right of our Chechen brothers upon us now is that we call upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for them at all times; because the fall of an Islamic republic at the hands of atheist disbelievers who were expelled from it yesterday and come today as victors is not a light matter. Then, its victory is also the seed for the victory of the other republics that the Russians have colonized. We ask Allah to cast terror in their hearts, and to cause them to fail and return them from where they came.
Also: It prevents the spread of Islam in those republics, so the matter is very serious. Would that the Muslims had known the magnitude of this calamity and stood up in pairs and alone to denounce the Russians and denounce the Western countries; because the Western countries are Christian disbelievers, and the Russians are atheist disbelievers,And Allah Mighty and Majestic says: [Al-Anfal: 73] Do not say: these are People of the Book with their claims, and these are atheists, they are all the same, they are all at war with Islam. The evidence for this is East Timor, a part of Indonesia, but most of it is Christian. When what happened in the elections occurred, the entire Western nation rose up with its air, naval, and land fleet in order to achieve the separation of this part from Muslim Indonesia. Look how? Chechnya is now an independent state that strikes the Russians. Now it leads the girls to immorality and the boys to slaughter, and they did not speak of anything. But we do not explain to the disbelievers.
The disbelievers are disbelievers. The ones we explain to are these Islamic states. Where are they regarding this? Therefore, it is obligatory upon the Islamic states—I say this and I hope Allah will let my words reach their ears—that they set out, light and heavy, to support these people, even if only with words. As for remaining silent like this, as if nothing had happened, it is, by Allah, disturbing. And our sadness is not that one state is defeated against another state; our sadness is that this is a defeat for Islam. Because the Russians did not dominate in this way except out of fear of Islam. And the Western states—may Allah fight them, humiliate them, and disgrace them—did not remain silent about the Russians doing what they do except that they see in it the destruction of Islam. Although we do not know for sure, because I hear that the Jews are helping the Russians in this fighting, and it is not unlikely. The Jews are clear enemies.
I say: It is upon us now to call upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic), in prostration, between the adhan and the iqamah, and at the end of the night, and on Friday when the imam comes, even during the prayer, that Allah will support our Chechen brothers and humiliate these disbelievers. And Allah is the Helper.

And those who disbelieved are allies of one another
