Does the presence of political parties in Afghan lands make them non-Islamic, such that jihad is not required?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you please, Shaykh, a question regarding contemporary scholars... regarding the war in Afghanistan, meaning he permitted it and said...
The Shaykh : Permitted what?
The questioner : I mean he said that this jihad is necessary and an individual obligation, so what is the answer to that?
The Shaykh : Take the answer from the recording from Abu Ahmad; it is a detailed recording, and it is concise as you heard.
The questioner : I intend to say that there are several parties and several groups, meaning this is within Afghanistan itself.
The Shaykh : You have not brought anything new; you have not brought anything new that was not addressed in the recording your companion has, but...
Al-Halabi : Everything that comes to mind, if Allah wills, is approximately present in this tape.
The Shaykh : Yes; but so that you, my brother, may be at ease in your heart and mind, as I answered you concisely regarding the ruling, the basis of the ruling is that, as you heard, it is an individual obligation. Likewise, I answer you concisely: the presence of these parties in those lands, obviously, does not make those lands non-Islamic. If you see otherwise, we will hear from you; otherwise, proceed with peace of mind.
The questioner : Well, this division...
The Shaykh : No, may Allah guide you, do not waste my words.
The questioner: Excuse me.
The Shaykh : Ah, the presence of these parties in those lands does not make them non-Islamic. I have now changed my style of discussion because you are not a debater; otherwise, I would have said to you, question and answer. Does the presence of these parties in those lands make these lands non-Islamic? In that case, you have no choice but to answer with what I have just answered, correct?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Good, that is what you intended when you said the first phrase, meaning as a report that this does not make them non-Islamic. Now, if the matter is so, it is not permissible for us, Muslims in all Islamic lands, to leave those lands as easy prey for the disbelievers. Did you understand me?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And that is enough.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The Shaykh : Permitted what?
The questioner : I mean he said that this jihad is necessary and an individual obligation, so what is the answer to that?
