Is it permissible for the Iraqis to fight the Arabs and those allied with the Americans?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the Saudi forces, in Arab forces, meaning if they intend to attack Iraq, other than the Saudis, and there are Arab forces in the front... we need the religious ruling...
The Shaykh : No, I did not understand this question...
The questioner : The question is that there are Islamic forces inside Saudi Arabia, Egyptian and Syrian, formed, meaning.
The Shaykh : Formed, yes.
The questioner : So if Iraq starts the attack, what will be the religious ruling here?
The Shaykh : The religious ruling is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to fight his Muslim brother except for one who is an aggressor, in which case he is fought, as in the previous verse, and you know it. So what is confusing you?[Al-Hujurat 49:9] Is this verse not the answer to your question?
The questioner : But the forces...
The Shaykh : You did not answer me; you did not mention the disbelievers, you mentioned the Muslims.
The questioner : ...as I am saying...
The Shaykh : And this changes the answer. What is the issue, is it a pre-Islamic age of ignorance?
The questioner : ...the Jews in Palestine... until they occupy Palestine, do we wait until what? What do we do? We do not kill these or those. These are Iraqi forces and joint Saudi and Arab forces... what do we do?
The Shaykh : I have answered all of this, my brother, repeatedly and over and over, and the summary of the answer you have heard, but at the very least, your thoughts are not gathered. That was your question when the answer came contrary to what you imagined, you said there are Americans. But when did you say there are Americans? After you received the answer...
The questioner : You know that there are Americans in Saudi Arabia.
The Shaykh : I give the answer to every question, and therefore when I said I am changing the question, I told you I am changing the answer. But that is not how research is done, my brother. The question must be presented complete from all angles so that you receive the answer accordingly. But if you ask me a question and I answer you, and that answer does not reach the goal you want, you develop the question, and I develop the answer as well. Until when will we continue to change and replace? It will not work.

The Shaykh : The religious ruling is that it is not permissible for a Muslim to fight his Muslim brother except for one who is an aggressor, in which case he is fought, as in the previous verse, and you know it. So what is confusing you?
And if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah
و إن طائفتان من المؤمنين اقتتلوا فأصلحوا بينهما فإن بغت إحداهما على الأخرى فقاتلوا الّتي تبغي حتّى تفيء إلى أمر اللهThe questioner : But the forces...
The Shaykh : You did not answer me; you did not mention the disbelievers, you mentioned the Muslims.
