Question:
If jihad is an individual obligation, is it given precedence over dutifulness to parents?
Answer:
If it is an individual obligation, it is given precedence over everything, for example: if the enemy attacks the town, or if one is between the two battle lines, or if the imam calls for mobilization; this is an individual obligation in these three situations:
If the enemy attacks the town, it is obligatory for everyone to fight to repel them according to their ability.
Or if the imam calls them to mobilize, it is obligatory for them to fight.
Or if one is present between the two battle lines, he does not turn away, nor does he turn his back.
