Majmoo’al-Fatawa of late Scholar Ibn Bazz ( Part No : 7, Page No: 376)
His Eminence Shaykh `Abdul` Aziz ibn `Abdullah ibn Baz, Chairman of the
Departments of Scholarly Research, Ifta', Daw`ah, and Guidance, said
that one of the best forms of Jihad (fighting in the Cause of Allah)
nowadays is fighting the ruler of Iraq, for his injustice and aggression
against Kuwait. He also shed the blood of its people, took their money
as booty, raped them and threatened the neighboring Gulf countries.
His Eminence stated that it is a serious attack and a grave crime for which he should be fought by the Muslims.
Through AlDa` wah Magazine, His Eminence Shaykh Ibn Baz advised the
Muslims in general, and the inhabitants of the Gulf countries in
particular, to fight this oppressor collectively.
He also advised those who help the ruler of Iraq to fear Allah as He
should be feared, perform Tawbah (repentance to Allah), and support
AlHaqq (the Truth) wherever it might be, as it has the priority to be
followed and supported.
Below is the text of His Eminence's words:
Praise be to Allah. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Proofs from Shari`ah (Islamic law) indicate the merits of Jihad; that it
is one of the best means to get closer to Allah and the topmost part of
Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, The root of this matter is
Islam; its pillar is Salah (Prayer); and its topmost point is Jihad
