What is the ruling on jihad in Palestine?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A second question regarding the second group: Did you speak with 'Abd al-Bari?
The Shaykh : He did not speak with me so that I could speak with him.
The questioner : He did not speak with you.
The Shaykh : He did not speak with me so that I could speak with him. Shall I inform him?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : He did not call me.
The questioner : I will call him again, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
The questioner : There is an inquiry.
The Shaykh : And he
The questioner : Regarding jihad in Palestine, we heard that you say it is an individual obligation. So why, for example, since people trust you and trust your knowledge, do you not become an Islamic army and then enter with it with the intention of liberating Palestine?
The Shaykh : That is another fantasy, because I am an old shaykh.
The questioner : Yes, is that the reason for the obstacle?
The Shaykh : No, there are many obstacles, but this is the one that pertains to me personally.
The questioner : Is it permissible to do this?
The Shaykh : Is this permissible in your view?
The questioner : For example, another person who is not an old shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, no, I am asking: Is this permissible in your view?
The questioner : Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : Why? Allah knows best. Allah knows best regarding an unknown matter. Is it unknown to you whether it is permissible or not permissible? Is it possible or not possible in your view?
The questioner : That is to say, we do not have knowledge by which I would permit or prohibit it.
The Shaykh : We do not have sufficient knowledge for me to issue a fatwa like this.
The Shaykh : I am not asking you for a fatwa; I am asking about the possibility regarding the circumstances surrounding you.
The questioner : From which aspect?
The Shaykh : From the material aspect, may Allah guide you and me, and from the political aspect, and all the social and party aspects, and so on, is it possible?
The questioner : This has not been provided yet.
The Shaykh : This is also the answer in our case. Did you understand me?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : This is also the answer, after knowing that I am an old shaykh.
The Shaykh : He did not speak with me so that I could speak with him.
The questioner : He did not speak with you.
