Fighting the occupier and the disbelievers is Jihad providing there is benefit from it to the Muslims. But if fighting leads to the killing of innocents without any gain to Muslims, this becomes prohibited. When the Muslims are weak and not ready, fighting the disbelievers and killing one or two of them that would lead them to retaliate by killing thousands of innocent Muslims and destroying their homes, this is not Jihad but rather sheer stupidity.

Is the Struggle for Freedom considered Jihaad Fee Sabeel lillaah, like the struggle of Kashmir?
