Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The phone is ringing.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Do you allow us to ask a question, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Please.
The questioner: The current situation, of course, as is not hidden from you, what does the committed Salafi Muslim, who adheres to the Book and the Sunnah, do in these difficult circumstances?
The Shaykh: He stays in his home.
The questioner: To what extent is staying in the home required? This is a well-known hadith, but to what extent is the commitment?
The Shaykh: I mean, do not involve yourself in the blind, deaf, and mute fitnah.
The questioner: Okay, Shaykh, the Jews have entered upon us.
The Shaykh: The land is inhabited by you, so why did you lower your voice and I could not hear you?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh: Raise your voice.
The questioner: O Shaykh, suppose the Jews, and this is a ninety-nine percent probability, enter upon us. Of course, no rational person denies that. What is the committed Muslim supposed to do?
The Shaykh: You know the answer.
The questioner: That...?
The Shaykh: I think you know the answer. Do not ask about something unknown. I mean, you would say to him, "Welcome, O Jew, and occupy my home."
The questioner: Okay, how am I supposed to defend myself when I am an individual? I mean, without blame... I am looking for a committed Salafi brother... I and him, I need a month just to find him. I need to go to Zarqa and look for...The Shaykh : So-and-so.
The Shaykh: Do you not have a state, or do you want to establish a state within a state?
The questioner: I mean, does that mean...?
The Shaykh: Do you have a state or do you not have a state?
The questioner: I have a state.
The Shaykh: The state is the one that organizes your affairs, otherwise you would be forced to establish a state within a state, and that is not possible for you.
The questioner: I mean, in your words, O my master, you permit me to go if they request me for precaution, for example, or that I deal with them.
The Shaykh: Within the scope of your question, it is obligatory, not just permitted.
The questioner: Obligatory that I deal with them, meaning at this specific time.
The Shaykh: No, I do not say deal with them, I say learn from them.
The questioner: Learn from them, or go out with them, for example, to war?
The Shaykh: O my brother, may Allah guide you. You have made a leap like a gazelle. You are talking about how I face the Jews, and I do not know. I am telling you, learn.
The questioner: I am trained in war.
The Shaykh: Every question has an answer. So this is another leap, and the last one, and we do not know what the other leaps are. Go back to your first question so we can see.
The questioner: I am on precaution and I am able...
The Shaykh: No, that was not your first question.
The questioner: My first question is that I am a Salafi man who belongs to the Islamic da'wah, which they say is the Salafi da'wah, which means Islam. What is my work in these circumstances? What do I do?
The Shaykh: Did you get the answer to this question or not?
The questioner: The answer is vague.
The Shaykh: And what is the vague thing that you understood from me?
The questioner: That being... the Jews entered, I must learn from the government or something like that.
The Shaykh: This is vague.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And yes, again!! May Allah guide you, O Shaykh. Where is the vagueness? May Allah guide you?
The questioner: We answered, O my master.
The Shaykh: No, O my brother, it is not permissible to waste our time.
The questioner: Stay in our home, is that not the answer?
The Shaykh: No, that is not the answer. Stay in your home regarding the fitnah. But when you raise a second, third, and fourth question, every question has its answer. When you were asking this question, I told you, stay in your home regarding the fitnah existing between Muslims. But when you come to raise the second question, the Jews attacked you, I tell you, at that time, bring them and resist them. And you asked a third question, and you are in my home, where were you in the first question, the second question, and the third question? How am I supposed to resist them when I know how to resist? I told you, go and learn. And you finally, fourth, that you are trained, may Allah will it. And until when do you want to keep asking and making gazelle leaps? Clarify your question so you get the answer you want.
The questioner: I have clarified it now.
The Shaykh: Praise be to Allah. Do you not have a final question?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: And may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you be peace. Subhan Allah, regarding people, did you notice how they are?
Al-Halabi: It seems he has people who are confusing him. I noticed this.
The Shaykh: No, he is present.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
