Summary
The hadith narrated by Muslim from Abu Hurairah is authentic and its meaning is likewise sound. It shows that every Muslim must resolve to carry out jihad according to his ability, and jihad covers knowledge and speech, wealth, and armed struggle. Jihad is originally a communal obligation (fardu kifayah) and must be understood through sound jihad jurisprudence, not a deviant version that costs innocent lives. Those who flee the duty of jihad, hate it, or never intend to strive for Islam fall into hypocrisy like the hypocrites of the Prophet's time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadis sahih ini menyatakan kewajipan bagi setiap orang Islam untuk berazam bagi melaksanakan jihad mengikut kemampuannya.
