What is the ruling on making a truce with the disbelievers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the issue of... May Allah reward you. One of the students of knowledge reported that some of the Shaykhs permit making a truce with the disbelievers, relying on the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic): [Al-Anfal 8:61] What does it mean that they bring it down?
The Shaykh : To whom is this verse:[Al-Anfal 8:61] addressed?
The questioner : To the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)...
The Shaykh : This is present.
The questioner : Is this the time of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I mean.
The Shaykh: Allah is the Greatest!
The questioner : I beg your pardon, my Shaykh, regarding the issue... Actually, yesterday I spoke at length on this topic, and among the things I said at the end were two or... small points. The first was that the ruling on a matter is a consequence of its conceptualization, and this specific issue cannot be conceptualized unless it is surrounded on all sides by the Islam that rules, and the Islam that rules is absent. Therefore, Islam is not consulted on this issue as it is consulted on other issues, because this issue is absent and Islam is absent from it. From here, I also said—the second point—if we want to establish such an issue, we must ask: Why did we make Islam absent from our lives? If we answer this question, then we must act, if our conviction is with the ruling of the answer, to work so that Islam is the dominant and ruling power, so that when Islam rules, it is consulted. But to consult Islam on this issue and other issues while Islam in its entirety is absent from the Ummah, this is injustice to Islam.
Another questioner : The Jews, in His saying (the Exalted): ...
Another questioner : What is wrong with you, Ajaj? We invoke, saying: O Allah, make you Ajaj (dust) that makes you dust in the eyes of the enemies, including the Jews.
The Shaykh : Now, the Jews are worse than their predecessors. Allahu Akbar. Their predecessors were religious in their religion, then they deviated. Now, most of them are atheists; most of them are atheists.
The questioner : Democratic.
The Shaykh : Democratic.
The questioner : My Shaykh, the Jews... in al-Baqarah, in what Allah narrated... of their belief.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : There is a question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
And if they incline to peace, then incline to it
وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَهَا ...The Shaykh : To whom is this verse:
And if they incline to peace, then incline to it
