The brother asked me whether I should strive in my own country or strive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so I told him to strive in his own country. What is meant by this jihad?

The questioner: Our Shaykh, based on my first question, whether he should strive in his own country or strive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you told him to strive in his own country. What is meant here by the jihad the brother intends? Because he says jihad, and we have heard of it in the past.

The Shaykh: There is no jihad today, my brother.
The student: What is meant by the jihad he mentioned?

The Shaykh: There is no jihad today. The important thing is that each of you must obey his parents. Have you seen an Islamic state, peace be upon you, declare jihad against the disbelievers and polytheists? The answer is no. Your declaration of jihad, you and Zayd and Bakr and 'Amr, this does not benefit except by throwing souls into destruction.
The student: I do not mean, my teacher, repelling harm from the Muslims, meaning the jihad of the oppressive ruler, meaning the one who has transgressed against the Muslims.

The Shaykh: No, it is not permissible, it is not permissible.
The student : That is it.

The Shaykh: It is not permissible. Please, we need to leave.
