What is your esteemed opinion regarding the existing jihad movements, and are they truly prepared for jihad?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It is a wild, uncontrolled movement, not based on knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah. And I apologize, I am not prepared whenever one of our enthusiastic brothers thinks he wants a session and wants to discuss. He must know the Islamic ruling on Islamic jihad. We have been afflicted with many, many jihads, and we have only harvested bitter gourd. So what is the benefit of the meeting, and my circumstances are tight and very tight. Therefore, please convey my apologies to the doctor who came from there, and my greetings.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And tell him: that when the Shaykh issued a fatwa, he issued it based on the knowledge he had. If he has knowledge of the Shari'ah, let him issue a fatwa based on what he sees. He should not issue a fatwa based on his knowledge of medicine. Jihad is not achieved through uprisings and emotions that flare up in people's hearts, and then the only outcome of those emotions is clear loss.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Our Lord says:[Al-Anfal 8:60]. This is the group he is talking about, which has a flag. I know this flag and I know its owner, and I spoke with him for that reason. Did these people apply His saying—Exalted is He—: [Al-Anfal 8:60]? Can they—what I am saying now—manufacture airplanes and tanks? This is impossible. In fact, I say, can they even buy tanks and airplanes to invade the Serbs who are attacking the Muslims? Rather, they are attacking the Jews who are next to us?! Enough with your imagination. This is a summary of my opinion, because I do not believe there is any benefit in responding to the invitation of every enthusiast who has a personal opinion. My greetings to the enthusiastic brother doctor, and my greetings to you, and peace to everyone. And to conclude, I say: Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The Shaykh : As is well known, the types of journeys are seven!
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I do not memorize the journeys or the differences between them.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So I said, if it exists, then it is fine; otherwise, it is not. Meaning, the result showed that it exists.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Is that not so?
The questioner : There is no doubt.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : No doubt, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But there remains something, which is: here, this addition in some books: meaning, does the person have the choice not to mention it?
The questioner : The addition?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : That is what I understand!
The Shaykh : No, it is not so.
The questioner : Yes, or is it necessary to include it?
The Shaykh: Of course.
The questioner : Good. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And tell him: that when the Shaykh issued a fatwa, he issued it based on the knowledge he had. If he has knowledge of the Shari'ah, let him issue a fatwa based on what he sees. He should not issue a fatwa based on his knowledge of medicine.

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Our Lord says:
And prepare against them whatever you are able of power
وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍAnd prepare against them whatever you are able of power
وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍThe questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
