When enough people perform it to successfully accomplish it, it is no longer obligatory upon others.<BR>o9.8 The caliph makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians [kafirs] (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) - which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral regions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High.<BR>('''A: though if there is no caliph (def: o25), no permission is required''').<ref>Ahmad Ibn Lulu Ibn Al-Naqib, translated by Noah Ha Mim Keller - [http://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Traveller-Classic-Islamic-Al-Salik/dp/0915957728 Reliance of the Traveller: The Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law Umdat Al-Salik] - Published by Amana Corporation; Revised edition (July 1, 1997), ISBN-13: 978-0915957729</ref>}}
'''Hanbali Fiqh'''
{{Quote||In Al Mughni by Ibn al Qadamah: "Jihad becomes Fard Ayn in three situations:
1) If the two sides meet in battle and they approach each other.<BR>
2) If the Kuffar enter a land, jihad becomes Fard Ayn upon its people.<BR>
3) If the Imam calls a people to march forward it is obligatory upon them to
march forward.<ref name="Islamic Emirate"></ref>}}
The first two points do not mention anything about an Imam or caliphate.
