The questioner : Regarding the fact that you mentioned a moment ago that the funds that came for jihad, now many people are collecting and they have money. Where do they spend these funds?
The Shaykh : Excuse me, they have money.
The questioner : The mujahideen collected the funds.
The Shaykh : It was collected in the name of the mujahideen.
The questioner : Yes, in the name of the Afghan mujahideen. Now, as you know, the state suddenly collapsed, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) arose, so they refrained from helping it. So, is it necessary that we send it to the best of them and say, for example, our brothers in Kunar, and their methodology, and the evil expected of them or plotted against them, or is it spent in other places of jihad in Eritrea or elsewhere, or is it spent in general public services? So what is to be done with it, may Allah reward you?
The questioner : I say it should be spent on all the mujahideen in all the lands of the world, who at least are not suspected of having a hand in the agreement with the Americans and with this temporary government.
The questioner : Another question may be asked.
The Shaykh : Please.
The questioner : Even if this state is established, there will be some sincere people inside Afghanistan who will establish some institutes and schools that represent the methodology, teaching the methodology of the Salaf (the earliest generations), whether as we said our brothers in Kunar or others. There may be individuals, as is known from the mujahideen; I do not say that all of them are in Kunar. So, is it permissible to spend these funds on them and consider it as spending in jihad, or is it necessary to spend it in the jihad that is currently active as a fighting front?
The Shaykh : It is spent on the one who is more deserving.
The questioner : The one who is more deserving.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Also, a sub-question: Again, some of those who donated for jihad and were donating intending it for jihad and the poor among the mujahideen. Many of the Afghan brothers who have now returned to their lands and homes are poor.
The Shaykh : Correct.
The questioner : Is this not considered part of the impact of jihad, so that spending funds on them is their right?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you.
The questioner : May Allah open up for you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Excuse me, they have money.
The questioner : The mujahideen collected the funds.
The Shaykh : It was collected in the name of the mujahideen.
