Jihaad and Slaves

Q: There is a hadith where the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever dies without fighting in the way of Allah or intended to fight then he has died on a branch of hypocrisy" and in the Quran, in Surah Tawbah, Allah said that if they had intended then they would have prepared equipment for fighting. 

So my question is, should every Muslim prepare gears or equipment to do jihad? If yes, then there is another hadith where the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Do not wish to face an enemy. Seek protection and peace from Allah and be patient when you face them." 

Can you please explain these three like are they contradicting? I am confused like the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that do not wish to face and Allah says if you intended then prepare equipment. Can you please clarify.

Q: What was the flag of the Muslims in the time of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)? 

Q: I request clarification on the reason for karahat in freeing a slave on behalf of someone.

In ‘Uqood al-Jawahir, the sharh of Ashbah, an explanation is given regarding why freeing a slave for the sake of someone is considered makrooh. It explains that when one frees a slave out of honour, gratitude, or veneration for someone, it may resemble an act of worship, which is exclusive to Allah Ta‘ala, and hence makrooh or even impermissible. 

Would like to know: 

1. Is this explanation found in any mu‘tabar fiqh books? 

2. What is the exact ruling of freeing a slave in the name or honour of someone? 

3. Is there a distinction in ruling between expressing gratitude and actual intent of ibadah in such cases? 

Your guidance, along with references from classical fiqh sources, will be highly appreciated.

Q: Are you aware on 9th August 2025 there will be protest in London only if 500 people sign up for it. This protest is there to deprescribe Palestine action as terrorist group. As Muslims, will it be considered jihad if we participate in this protest? There is chance of you getting arrested if you join. Do you think we as Muslims should join this protest? 

Also, they said we can only have signs that has below message nothing else as you can easily be targeted by police if you have different messages compared to masses. Only message they allow is "I oppose genocide" "We support Palestine action" 

Palestine action is a group that damaged elbit system sites in UK. Elbit systems supply weapons to Israel. UK government has banned Palestine action and there will be many protests like these to try and get Palestine action unbanned. Is it jihad if Muslims participate in these protests?

Q: If a woman is fighting on the side of the enemy in a battle against the Muslims, can a Muslim soldier kill that woman in that scenario?

Q: I am an ex-military pilot. I was forced to leave the military by some high-ranking officials due to their ego. I never imagined my life away from jihad. I dreamt of getting martyred in the battlefield.

Please tell me how this will be compensated and what reward will there be for me on the Day of Judgement for my nine years of jihad. Will I be counted as a Ghazi or Shaheed, or none? Remember, my pure intention was to serve my religion and nothing else.

This setback has left me in complete depression and stress.

Q: Is it correct to say that the Palestinians are undergoing Azaab currently and is it correct to say the Yahood are the army of Allah?

Q:

1. If a person has a slave as his wife and divorces her twice, can she remarry him after her master has relations with her or does she have to remarry?

2. If he was married to a free woman whom he divorced 3 times, thereafter she becomes a slave, can he purchase her and have relations with her prior to making halaalah?

Q: In Islam, it has been allowed to have intimacy with slave women and to even have children from them. Islam also prescribes the rights of slave women which are the responsibility of the master. And slave women traditionally have been the unbeliever women, who were purchased or captured during wars they waged on Muslims.

My question is that, can a wealthy Muslim man living in a non Muslim country, exercise the provision of keeping unbeliever women as slaves? Whereas unbeliever women are willing to live with him (with free will) on the same rights/conditions prescribed in Islam for slave women. What is the ruling on keeping non Muslim slave women this way?

Q:

1. When will Jihaad be “Fardh Ayn”(obligatory on every Muslim)?

2. What is the meaning of “Fardh Ayn”?

3. What is the purpose of Jihaad?
