The Shaykh : I would like to ask Professor Ali here a question: What did our brothers in Algeria do, in your opinion? The ruling there is known, meaning, is the ruling there correct or incorrect?
The questioner : No; I believe there is an error, an error. The matter of carrying weapons is an error; I do not say this in this speech.
The Shaykh : Why... the Shari'ah, is it an error or correct?
The questioner : Incorrectly.
The Shaykh : That is enough, the best of speech is what is little and effective. Now, do you encourage the jihad there, what is called jihad? Do you encourage it?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : Now, what is your opinion of this group? Do you encourage them or not?
The questioner : This is a tape, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I beg you.
The questioner : I did not know anything about the topic...
The Shaykh : If you do not know, we know that they encourage it. They brought Saudis here who want to go to Algeria. They are currently encouraging the jihad; I heard today the answer that we should go and fight jihad in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And we said today that there is no individual jihad; this is a jihad of governments, and governments do not fight jihad.
People came here, perhaps you were three Saudi individuals, so one of them, this thin man who was sitting here, is conveying from our brother and others that they are preparing Saudi youth to go to fight jihad in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, what is your opinion of jihad in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Do you consider it prescribed?
The questioner : By Allah, the issue is also confusing. To say it is not prescribed is problematic, and if I say we go without preparation, that is also a problematic matter.
The Shaykh : Let us say it is confusing, but a Muslim does not remain in confusion when he returns to the guidelines and rules...
The questioner : Islamic rules.
The Shaykh : Allow me, the confusion will return.
The questioner : The problem for me is that Muslims must fight jihad, not now in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they were subject to the Yugoslav rule, which is disbelieving, so fighting was obligatory from the beginning, not just now.
The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah bless you, do not speak of what is not first a matter of disagreement or a matter of research. It is not a matter of disagreement and it is not a matter of research. It was obligatory for Muslims... there? Jihad in the path of Allah has been left for centuries.
The questioner: Yes.
The questioner : No; I believe there is an error, an error. The matter of carrying weapons is an error; I do not say this in this speech.
