Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... going out for jihad in Afghanistan?
The Shaykh : Yes, we have spoken about this a great deal. When Islamic jihad is truly established, it becomes an individual obligation. However, unfortunately, you are aware of the conditions of the Muslims and the Islamic governments, and their lack of readiness for jihad in the path of Allah. In that case, the jihad becomes individual and does not ever yield the expected result.
The questioner : ... is there reward in going out ...?
The Shaykh : There is reward.
