Dear brother XXXX,

I wanted to clarify my recent comments on brother Nidal Hasan's shooting at Fort Hood which i am unable to do on my site until the brothers restore it, may Allah reward them.

If a Muslim is in a non-Muslim army and is part of the military apparatus which is waging war against Muslims, it is not permissible for him to take part at all. Helping the kuffar against the Muslims is riddah without doubt. Allah said concerning the one who supports the mushrikeen:

"And if any amongst you takes them as awliya then surely, he is one of them (al-Maida 5:51)

If a Muslim is serving in the US army I want to emphasize the necessity of leaving the army of the disbelievers and finding work elsewhere, because his presence in the army implies helping them, strengthening them and increasing the numbers of their fighters. However, if his work in the army allows him to pass on their secrets to the Muslims or help the Muslims in some other way that is a separate issue and completely permissible.

Assalaamu alaykum

Provided Muslims are not harmed by them in any way what so ever.Obviously this is a seperate issue as the Sheikh rightly said.


Those who needs to understand have understood but those who dont want to understand ignore all proofs but Taifa al mansurah are not hurt by ignorants.
