Will it be fardh for every muslim to go for jihad if it is declared?
Answer
In principle, if a Muslim country is attacked, they have a right to defend themselves and declare Jihaad. Jihad will be Fardh-e-Ayn upon the males of that area (in this instance, Afghanistan).
If they are unable to defend themselves, then the obligations extends to those closest to them, Pakistan. Thereafter, the obligation will extend accordingly.

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.
