Mufti Abdul Rauf, a senior cleric of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, has termed cross-border attacks from the country to Pakistan or any other neighboring country as un-Islamic.
In a video message posted to Twitter, Rauf distinguished between the many types of jihad or holy war and claimed that the type of jihad that is required of all Muslims and citizens is when a nation’s territory is invaded or otherwise subject to foreign intrusions.
امیر کی اجازت کے بغیر افغانستان سے باہر جہاد کی نیت سے جانا جائز نہیں، مفتی عبدالرؤف کا فتوی
انہوں نے کہا کہ اقدامی جہاد امیر پر فرض ہے ۔ امیر کے حکم کے بغیر باہر ممالک میں جہاد کے لیے جانا کسی صورت جائز قدم نہیں۔

He further said that preventive or proactive jihad would always be conditional on permission given by the rulers or the government of the country and any violation of the government’s permission would be terrorism and not holy war.
Earlier, Pakistan sought a public decree from the Afghan Taliban chief declaring activities of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as un-Islamic.
