What is the ruling on preparing for jihad in the path of Allah, and upon whom is it obligatory?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what is the ruling on preparation in the path of Allah, and where is it to be carried out?

The Shaykh : Preparation for jihad in the path of Allah is a collective obligation (fard kifayah), and those addressed by this command are the rulers, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And prepare against them whatever you are able of power وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ
[Al-Anfal 8:60]
It is to be carried out in the best location, in the best place where this preparation can be received. However, as I told you, the rulers are the ones addressed by this command, while individual people generally cannot do so. Yes, the question.
