What is the ruling on the necessity for some people to follow the tribe, because they have no livelihood except through the tribe, except for whom Allah has mercy, in that they go out with it, for example?

The questioner : There is a problem in Yemen that is widespread in almost all regions, and it is tribal wars.
The Shaykh : And it is.
The questioner : Tribal wars.
The Shaykh : Wars.
The questioner : Tribal wars.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : A tribe fights another neighboring tribe, and some of the people of the Sunnah, who came to know the Sunnah after being Shi'ites—and this term is usually applied to one who left Shi'ism and committed to.
The Shaykh : The Sunnah.
The questioner : The Sunnah thereafter, perhaps he is ignorant, but the term is applied to everyone who left Shi'ism and committed to the Sunnah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So we say that these wars sometimes occur, and some of these people, whether they are common people or students of knowledge, are sometimes forced to follow the tribe because they have no livelihood except through the tribe, except for whom Allah has mercy, and few are those who boycott the tribe for the sake of their religion and go out. They are forced to follow the tribe in going out with it, for example, for fighting, for fortifications, for trenches, but he says, "I do not fire and I do not fire a bullet at a Muslim under any circumstances, even if he may be wronging me, but I act according to the hadith of Abu Dharr, so I fire the bullet there into the air and I do not expose a Muslim to killing. So what if this man is killed in this situation if he went out with his people? Is it permissible for him to go out with his tribe or not? And then if he went out with his tribe and was killed in this battle, would the following apply to him Sahih Muslim 2888b?"
The Shaykh : The answer is that if his tribe is attacked, it is permissible for him to be with his tribe. But if his tribe attacks the other tribe, it is not permissible for him to be with his tribe. I think this is clear.
The Shaykh : And it is.
The questioner : Tribal wars.
The Shaykh : Wars.

Let him bear your sin and his own, and if you fear the flash of the sword, place your cloak over your face
ليبوء بإثمك وإثمه ، وإن خشيت شعاع السيف فضع رداءك على وجهكWhen two Muslims confront each other with their swords, both the slayer and the slain are doomed to Hell-Fire.
إذا التقى المسلمين بسيفَيهما فالقاتل والمقتول في النارThe Shaykh : The answer is that if his tribe is attacked, it is permissible for him to be with his tribe. But if his tribe attacks the other tribe, it is not permissible for him to be with his tribe. I think this is clear.
