It's fatwa time with Ohio Imam Salah Soltan (click name for background posts) at IslamOnline:
Name | AbdAllah - |

Question | I live in France but there is jihad in my land. I am going to get married, but I'm afraid that maybe I will love this world too much and will change my mind and decide not to go to jihad. What is your advice for me? |
Answer | In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Your question lacks details, therefore I cannot give you a specific answer. But generally speaking, marriage does not prevent someone from participating in legitimate jihad, it should increase his reward even as it would mean sacrifice of family and children. But whether this jihad is legitimate and worthy of sacrifice this what needs to be decided on getting to know the country and circumstances and needs of the people. Allah Almighty knows best. |
What a country. What an immigration system.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Dr. Soltan/Sultan needs a warm reception next time he come to Boston. It boggles the mind that he lives here.
