And does your first statement apply if the enemy's interests are struck in lands other than Muslim lands?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does this apply to the enemy's interests in countries outside Muslim lands?
Abu Malik: It is so, our Shaykh will answer.
The Shaykh : It applies and it does not apply, meaning there are two conditions. If these operations are against the warring disbelievers with the permission of the state in which these events occur, then this is obligatory. But if it is not with the permission of the state, that is what I meant when I said it does not apply. It is permissible and it is not permissible. If the state in which those foreign interests are located, and which is warring against the Iraqi people, permits these operations, then it is obligatory. But if it does not permit them, then the evil of these operations, as the professor indicated earlier regarding these suicide operations, will be that their harm is greater than their benefit. In summary, it is not permissible for every individual among the Muslims to appoint himself, to make himself a commander, and to act as he pleases. And I do not say as he desires, because behind that are many harms that follow one another, and Allah knows best the outcome of the matter. Yes.
Abu Malik: Perhaps, just for clarification, our Shaykh, for the dear brother, we give an example so that the picture is clear. For example, in Greece or in Turkey, and of course they now consider the Turkish government or state to be standing with America, for example, in the fighting, so we do not know. First, who is carrying out these operations? That is one point, because many of those who carry out these operations do not do so in support of Iraq, but rather there are some matters that can be exploited in such a situation for these people to blow up, for example, an office or a bus, or kill a person, or attack an embassy or the like. This may have no connection to the subject we are discussing now. That is one point. Then also, perhaps we can clarify from our Shaykh when he said "with the permission of that state." I, of course, find it very obvious that the state in which such an incident occurs cannot possibly permit such an action, even if that state were supporting Iraq, for example. This scenario, our Shaykh, I imagine is far from occurring or impossible to occur.
The Shaykh : Correct, but in any case, this is the jurisprudential answer.
