now, when the rights of Muslims have been violated by foreign
invasions and in other ways? What is the ruling on those who are not
engaged in jihaad, who cannot do anything, but if they were called
upon they would respond and fight in jihaad for the sake of Allaah,
but they are prevented by the current circumstances of the ummah, such
as the lack of rule according to sharee'ah? Please respond, with
evidence (daleel).
Praise be to Allaah.
Jihaad to make the word of Allaah supreme, to protect the religion of
Islam, to enable spreading the faith and to protect the things it
holds sacred, is an obligation upon everyone who is able to do it. But
this necessitates organizing and sending armies, lest it result in
chaos leading to bad consequences. So initiating it is one of the
tasks of the Muslim ruler, and the 'ulamaa' should encourage it. If
jihaad begins and the Muslims are mobilized, then everyone who is able
should answer the call, sincerely for the sake of Allaah, hoping for
truth to prevail and to protect Islam. Whoever holds back from that
when the call has been made, with no valid excuse, is a sinner.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet
Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace.
Fataawaa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 12/12
