What is a Darul Harb? Please explain what is a Darul Harb and a Darul Islam.

Answer

The definitions of the terms is contentious and variegated. Ulama have given different meanings to these terms.

Countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, in fact every Muslim country today, are neither Darul Harb nor Darul Islam. We describe these countries as Darul Kufr. Every government of every Muslim country without exception is a kaafir regime. The vast majority of the Muslim inhabitants are kuffaar of the Zindeeq class.

Darul Harb is the opposite of Darul Islam. But no where on earth today is there Darul Islam. There is no Darul Islam at war with any Kuffaar state, hence in the technical sense of the Shariah, there is no Darul Harb today.
