  2. It can be declared by any Muslim who feels their faith is threatened
  3. It must always be fought against non-believers regardless of provocation
  4. It requires no rules of engagement as it is sanctioned by Allah
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — It must be fought for the defence of Islam and declared by a legitimate religious authority
Award 1 mark for recognising that Islamic holy war (jihad) must be defensive and declared by legitimate authority. B is incorrect because individual Muslims cannot declare jihad - it requires proper religious authority. C is incorrect because jihad can only be fought in defence or under specific conditions, not simply against all non-believers. D is incorrect because Islamic teaching on jihad includes clear rules of engagement, such as not harming civilians or the environment.
