Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... O Shaykh, another question: What is the ruling on jihad in Afghanistan by non-Afghans or for non-Afghans under parties that are not upon the Book and the Sunnah in creed and methodology, given their differences in that?
The Shaykh : Jihad is an individual obligation, as we have said for years, especially since jihad—unfortunately, as the news reaches us—has stopped at a certain place. This indicates that they are in need of support with money and people. So, what some parties have of ignorance of Islam, as mentioned earlier, does not prevent this ruling of providing support. That is a matter that should be attended to after expelling the avowed disbelievers of the communist regime from the lands of Islam. After that, matters of da'wah must take place there such that the da'wah to the people of the land is established, and they are called to know tawhid (the oneness of Allah) first, and then to believe in it second. So the obligation remains until any communist who has authority and a state there is expelled from these lands.
Yes.
The questioner : As for the parties present there, O Shaykh; what is the ruling on jihad with a party that is not based on the Book and the Sunnah in creed and methodology?
The Shaykh : My brother, the issue is resolved by a jurisprudential principle, which is: "If a Muslim is faced with two calamities, he chooses the easier of them." If the jihad you are asking about were for the purpose of conveying the da'wah, then one would not fight. But this jihad is for the purpose of expelling the disbeliever colonizer from the lands of the Muslims; so the matter is different. It is necessary to cooperate with them to expel the disbeliever from the lands of Islam. Then, the mujahid separates in his da'wah to the Book and the Sunnah from the group that does not support the da'wah to the Book and the Sunnah. So jihad is of two types:
An individual obligation to expel the enemy from the lands of Islam, and a collective obligation to convey the da'wah.
And now, the issue is not about conveying the da'wah, so that it would be said: "Should one fight under a jihad that has what I mentioned in it, or not?" Now, jihad is necessary because it is an individual obligation to expel the disbeliever colonizer. After that comes the issue of jihad for the purpose of conveying the da'wah to a colonized land, for example, from Russia in the past. This is a second plan. It is necessary to plan and prepare fully to convey the correct da'wah to those lands. It is not permissible to say: "It is not permissible to fight with them in the way of expelling the disbeliever." This is an individual obligation now, and it must be realized, if Allah wills.
