Summary of Sunni concepts
The United Nations Charter prohibits legitimate jihad
Jihad in Islam has provisions and types mentioned in detail in the sections on jihad in Islamic jurisprudence
The inability of Muslims today to wage jihad due to their weakness and humiliation does not negate the validity of this jihad and its obligation when one is able to do it.
But the United Nations Charter prohibits it, and it is permissible to fight only for the sake of defense, and this is explained as follows
First, in Article 2, states must settle the dispute peacefully, taking into account the provisions of international law
This is an obligation that God did not oblige. Rather, Muslim countries, when able and prevented, give the infidel state a choice between three characteristics
Islam, tribute with children, or fighting
In the event of the weakness of the Islamic state, it may make a temporary truce with the infidel states, as in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
Secondly, in Article Five, states are required not to recognize any territorial increase achieved through war
Whereas in Islam, what Muslims conquer through jihad is their property
Thirdly, in Article Nine, states must submit to all international treaties and all general international law
It is not permissible for a Muslim to submit except to the provisions of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and treaties have provisions in Sharia that contradict what is in international law
It is not permissible for Muslims to replace what is inferior with what is better
