Ibn Aabidin said
: "Jihad becomes Fard Ayn if the enemy attacks one of the
borders of the Muslims, and it becomes Fard Ayn upon those close by. For those who are
far away, it is Fard Kifaya, if their assistance is not required. If they are needed, perhaps
because those nearby the attack cannot resist the enemy, or are indolent and do not fight
jihad, then it becomes Fard Ayn upon those behind them, like the obligation to pray and
fast. There is no room for them to leave it. If they too are unable, then it becomes Fard
Ayn upon those behind them, and so on in the same manner until the jihad becomes Fard
Ayn upon the whole Ummah of Islam from the East to the West".
And the following have like Fatawa: Al Kassani
, Ibn Najim
and Ibn Hammam


1. This quote shows that jihad CAN become Fard upon the ENTIRE Ummah otherwise why would it have been discussed?
2. Since people HAVE been lazy and indolent and left jihad, and the help of Muslims from lands from all over the world is needed and has been needed for CENTURIES, not just decades, applying this fatwa means jihad is Fard Ayn upon all.
