Therefore, it is by all means obligatory on HTS to permit all those who want to repel the attacker, to let them participate in Jihad, and to make matters easy for them and to coordinate with them for that. This is because when the obligation of repelling the attacker cannot be fulfilled without doing a certain action, then that action itself becomes obligatory. And if it does not become possible to unite under the leadership of HTS due to matters that HTS does not like to rectify, then let HTS atleast make it easy for the Mujahideen to participate in repelling the attacker, especially since HTS knows that there are military strengths and expertise available in the field and there are also those with courage, valiance and gallantry that can strengthen the Jihad of Shaam and would increase the number of those supporting the implementation of the Shareeah. So if they are truthful in this goal then let them utilitse these strengths and let them pave the way open for such expertise. And if they are concerned about the honour of the Muslims and are passionate about their religion like them, then they must not allow their provocative religious instructors and media men to attack them and incite against them, and to widen the gap between them and HTS, and to deprive the Jihad in Shaam of their energies, experiences and potentials. Perhaps Allah will restrain the evil might of the disbelievers. And Allah is greater in might and stronger in exemplary punishment.
