Saudi Arabia claims to be fighting terrorism.

So why is their government-controlled Iqra TV still raising money for jihad? (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

Organizer: As the Prophet Muhammad said, Jihad is the pinnacle of Islam. A person who cannot wage Jihad with his soul is required to wage Jihad with his money, his tongue, his thought, and with any means at his disposal. There is no doubt that our brothers in Palestine desperately need financial support, which goes directly to this cause, and helps them to carry out this mission.

Sheik Abdallah Basfar: All the funds sent via known charities and organizations reach your Muslim brothers, Allah be praised. Undoubtedly, this aid is obligatory and not just recommended. This is the duty of every Muslim, based on the scholars’ religious ruling that supporting our brothers in Palestine is obligatory. Therefore, material support is a duty.

The Prophet said: “He who equips a fighter - it is as if he fought himself.” You lie in your bed, safe in your own home, and donate money - and Allah credits you with the rewards of a fighter. What is this? A privilege. So why this reluctance despite all this encouragement? The Prophet said: “He who equips a fighter - it is as if he fought himself” - and what a great difference there is between the two! What comparison is there between someone who pays money, while living in comfort, and someone who sacrifices his soul for the sake of Allah, wages Jihad, and exerts efforts? There is a great difference. Yet Allah - because money is so important and since Jihad cannot be waged without it… Who will care for the families of these martyrs who sacrificed their souls? These people sacrificed their souls - can we be stingy with our money? We are not saying we should give away all our money - although it wouldn’t be strange for a Muslim to do so for this cause - but a Muslim should at least donate some of his money - and money is abundant, Allah be praised.
