If principle, if a Muslim country is attacked, they have a right to defend themselves and declare Jihaad. Jihad will be Fardh-e-Ain upon the males of that area (in this instance, Afghanistan)
If they are unable to defend themselves, then the obligation extends to those closest to them, Pakistan.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
