Question
Some say that Jihad is Fardh-e-Ain today. Is this correct?
Answer
Those who make such claims are morons. They do not know what is meant by Fardh-e-Ain. When an injunction is Fardh-e-Ain, it devolves on every Muslim, male and female, all over the world.
The prevailing condition of the Ummah and the calamities descending on Muslims do not render Jihad Fardh-e-Ain. The vast majority of the Ummah does not even perform the five Salaat daily. Muslims are overwhelmingly wallowing in fisq, fujoor, bid'ah and kufr. Islaah of the nafs is Fardh-e-Ain.
Nowhere in the world is Jihad Fardh-e-Ain. How is it possible for almost 2 billion Muslims to go into Jihad, moreover when most of them are on the brink of kufr? How should the 2 billion Muslims wage Jihad? With their bare hands and their corrupt Imaan?
There are thousands – tens of thousands – of Palestinians who are suffering under the Israeli yoke, but they do not enter the field of Jihad. Only a handful is fighting, and they fight for the dunya, not for the Deen. Is it logistically possible for every Muslim man and woman in the world to converge on Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, etc. – 2 billion of them? Salaat is Fardh-e-Ain, hence the 2 billion have to compulsorily perform Salaat, but the vast majority does not observe this injunction. The morons need to acquire proper Knowledge for understanding when Jihad becomes Fardh-e-Ain.
If the kuffaar enter your home, then it devolves Fardh-e-Ain on you, your wife, children and your neighbours to defend and die rather than submit to the evil and brutality of the invading kuffaar. However, those on whom Jihad had been Fardh-e-Ain, all fled from their homes and are either languishing in refugee camps or seeking asylum in kuffaar countries where they trade their Deen and Imaan for a miserable pittance.
