What is the ruling on a group that went to Iraq and was asked to undergo training there?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Bring up another one.
The questioner : This is despite the fact that, even if the Iraqis requested that it be a specific group and they determined its number, before they join them in Iraq, their training would take place in a location. Does this change the initial ruling or not?
The Shaykh : No, it does not change it.
The questioner : It does not change it.
The Shaykh : No, the training there may not be Islamic; they may not adhere to the Sharia rulings, such as, for example, maintaining the performance of prayer at its prescribed times, and the like of what may hinder the trainees. I mean, for example, in some countries, everyone who belongs to the army is forced to shave his beard, and I do not think this is among the signs of victory. Perhaps you understood me.
The questioner : Yes, yes, may Allah bless you.
