'''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.
