Answer 43:

Jihaad literally means to sacrifice. Therefore, the Shaykhs opinion only in the literal sense is correct. The reward of that sacrifice depends on the good intention of the seeker of worldly knowledge, for example, contributing to the propagation of Islam. However, Jihaad includes physical and monetary sacrifice against the Kuffaar even to the extent of placing one's life at risk.

Generally, the Qur'aan and Ahaadith refers to the latter understanding of Jihaad.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

One more:

Is the Jihad in Chechny and Palestine a ligimit Jihad ?

I have heared people say that the Jihad in Chechnya an Palestine are land issues as they have started out as land Issues.
2. Is it permissable for Chechens to attack Russia to make the people feel what they are going through?
3. Please explain this ayat "wa qaatilul mushrikeena khaaffatan kama yuQatillunakum Kaaffa"

Answer 7104:

1. The two Jihaads are legitimate Jihaads.

2. The Mujahideen of Chechnya have proven that their aim is to establish Islam, not simply to acquire land. In Palestine, there are many groups. Those fighting to establish Islam are undertaking a correct Shar’ee Jihaad. Those who do not have Islam as their aim are Munafiqeen. Their harm to Islam is even greater than that of Israel.

3. The Aayaat means that when the Kuffaar are hostile to you than fight them completely, just as they fight your completely. You should not hold back anything and put all your resources behind the Jihaad.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Moulana Imraan Vawda
FATWA DEPT.

For those who aren't paying attention, the more you try to reign in radical Islam, the more you provoke all out jihad holy war attacks. We are in a new Crusades to beat back Islamofascism whether we want to be in this war or not.
