It's fatwa time with Ohio Imam Salah Soltan (click name for background posts) at IslamOnline:
| Name | AbdAllah - |
| Profession | |
| Question | I live in France but there is jihad in my land. I am going to get married, but I'm afraid that maybe I will love this world too much and will change my mind and decide not to go to jihad. What is your advice for me? |
| Answer | In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Your question lacks details, therefore I cannot give you a specific answer. But generally speaking, marriage does not prevent someone from participating in legitimate jihad, it should increase his reward even as it would mean sacrifice of family and children. But whether this jihad is legitimate and worthy of sacrifice this what needs to be decided on getting to know the country and circumstances and needs of the people. Allah Almighty knows best. |
What a country. What an immigration system.

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
Said it before and I'll say it again, Dr. Soltan/Sultan needs a warm reception next time he come to Boston. It boggles the mind that he lives here.
