Salam sister,
Under basic Shariah for the four Mathab defending your life, family, region or country against any invader is Jihad therefore no Fatwa needed.
wa alaykumu salaam,
Thats right. I understand the basic rules of jihad and what the afghans are doing at the moment might be classified as jihad as they have been invaded in their own country Allah knows best but an outsider coming to join the taliban would that be seen as jihad? Maybe it would maybe it wouldnt but people shouldnt tell other people to join the taliban and they are guranteed for paradise. Nobody knows that.
By the way in that country's entire recorded history it has never been defeated and we all know the saying "history repeats its self"
Inshallah the invaders will be defeated again.
Also what do you mean "no fatwas that have been issued......" who would issue such a binding Fatwa for we have no Khalifate or Amir ul Mukminin ? Masalam
I meant there is no agreement between the scholars or rather lack of acknowledgement that talibans war against the west is jihad. The scholars arent certain which is why people shouldnt preach things like 'guranteed paradise' for those who join the taliban
