Question and answer [link]

Question 43

We are a small number of supporters from several areas living in the Sayyida Zaynab area. In recent days takfiri forces took Busra al-Sham in Daraa, a Shia area that had resisted repeated attacks for a long time. It finally fell after people were killed or captured, while others managed to evacuate women and children and flee to Sayyida Zaynab in Damascus after some traveled very long distances. A few days later takfiri forces took Idlib in northern Syria, about 400 km from Damascus, and two Shia villages were completely besieged with all supply lines cut. Terrible atrocities are expected if the villages fall, and there is no escape route as there was from Busra al-Sham. Armed Shia factions in Sayyida Zaynab that are fighting alongside the government therefore decided to go to Idlib to open a route for evacuating women, children and elderly people from the besieged villages. What is our duty in these circumstances? May someone who wants to participate in this operation join them, especially since many of us come from those villages?

Ahmed al-Hasan Response:

Whoever wants to participate in defending these villages and rescuing their people may participate. I have said before and repeat: defense does not require a fatwa or legal ruling; every individual may take the initiative to defend his land, city and its inhabitants.
