Question

Jihad as farz-e-aein or farz-e-kifaya these days? In Pakistan there are many Ulema like Moulana masood azher, Mufti Rasheed Ahmed, according to whom, it is fardh-e-aein. If people or Pakistan are insufficient for Afghanistan or kashmir, of people of Palestine are insufficient or not acting for liberation, then wouldnt it be fard-e-aein on the neighboring countries?

Answer

The classification of Jihaad as Fardh-e-Ain and Fardh-e-Kifaayah is a delicate issue with major implications.

Such an issue must be discussed by a panel of leading Ulama. It is, thus, not appropriate for one person to issue a ruling by himself.
