Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : We are young men who want to perform jihad in the path of Allah, and we have learned that jihad is currently an individual obligation. What must we do to be counted among the mujahideen?
The Shaykh : I do not know whether jihad is currently an individual obligation or not. However, if it is an individual obligation, preparation is necessary beforehand, because a person entering the battlefield without preparation may cause more harm than benefit, especially at this time. Weapons have advanced and become complex, and not everyone is proficient in them. Not everyone is skilled in using these weapons, so it is necessary to train on them until one is qualified to enter the war. Yes.
