Question
Is Boko Haraam of Nigeria a valid Jihad movement?
Answer
The information we have received about Boko Haraam of Nigeria is as follows:
(a) They are anti-westernization and want the Shariah to be the government. This aim is correct.
(b) To achieve their goal, they kill recklessly. They kill even Muslims who disagree with them. If this information is correct, then their methods of achieving their goals are Haraam. It is not permissible to kill recklessly and spread anarchy in the land.
