What is the wisdom behind prioritizing jihad with wealth in the order?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Anas: Is the order here based on what is more meritorious?
Answer:
The obligation is all of it; they are all obligatory: with wealth, with the self, and with the tongue.
Q: But the prioritization of wealth?
The Shaykh: Allah prioritized wealth in most of the verses; because it is more comprehensive in benefit, weapons are bought with it, the army is equipped with it, and it is spent on the families of the mujahideen, among other things. It contains many benefits, and for this reason, Allah prioritized it over the self in many places, except in the verse of al-Tawbah [al-Tawbah:111], where the self was prioritized.
The point is that jihad with wealth is more comprehensive and more beneficial; money may be needed while the individual is not.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْThe point is that jihad with wealth is more comprehensive and more beneficial; money may be needed while the individual is not.
