Q; Is the Jihad in Chechnya and Palestine a legitimate Jihad?

I have heared people say that the Jihad in Chechnya an Palestine are land issues as they
have started out as land Issues.2. Is it permissible for Chechens to attack Russia to make
the people feel what they are going through ? 3. Please explain this ayat "wa qaatilul
mushrikeena khaaffatan kama yuQatillunakum Kaaffa"

A:1. The two Jihaads are legitimate Jihaads.

2. The Mujahideen of Chechnya have proven that


their aim is to establish Islam, not simply to acquire
land. In Palestine, there are many groups. Those
fighting to establish Islam are undertaking a correct
Shar’ee Jihaad. Those who do not have Islam as their
aim are Munafiqeen. Their harm to Islam is even
greater than that of Israel.

3. The Aayaat means that when the Kuffaar are


hostile to you than fight them completely, just as they
fight you completely. You should not hold back
anything and put all your resources behind the
Jihaad.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
