The questioner : Is jihad a fixed punishment (hadd) or a discretionary punishment (ta'zir)?
The Shaykh : What is jihad?
The questioner : To the non-Muslims.

The Shaykh : Fighting is obligatory upon us until the word of Allah is the supreme one. It is for establishing the religion of Allah, regardless of so-and-so. Therefore, the correct view is that if disbelievers pay the jizyah and submit to the rulings of Islam, it is forbidden to fight them.
