a screen shot displaying Reliance of the Traveller,
Book O, Ch.25.9,

Muhaddith
is an Islamic web site which maintains a large library consisting
mostly of Arabic texts. Reliance of the Traveller is one of the few
English translations available there. Maktabh.org
has a Scribid
version of Reliance that will be
easier to search and read than the text version which
serves as my source.
This section of the code lists
the duties of subordinate rulers. The eighth and final item
in this enumerated list is critical because it stands as confirming
proof of the fact that Islam's Jihad is offensive warfare, carried out
on Islam's initiative. The explicit duty to undertake
Jihad against neighboring kuffar gives ample
confirmation to O9.1, 9.8 & 9.9, leaving absolutely
no possible doubt.
