Mufti Ebrahim Desai
FATWA DEPT.

In principle, if a Muslim country is attacked, they have a right to defend themselves and declare Jihaad. Jihad will be Fardh-e-Ain upon the males of that area (in this instance, Afghanistan).

If they are unable to defend themselves, then the obligation extends to those closest to them, Pakistan. Thereafter, the obligation will extend accordingly.
