Question: “May Allāh reward you with goodness. What is your advice to the Muslims in light of the circumstances that Palestine is currently experiencing? And what is the action that Muslims are required to undertake?”
Answer of the Shaikh, the ʿAllāmah, the Muftī of Saudi Arabia: Sālih al-Fawzān (may Allah preserve him):
“The action that Muslims are required to undertake towards their brothers who are oppressed and persecuted in every place—and this is even more pressing in the case of Palestine—is to supplicate to Allāh to grant them victory, to supplicate against their enemies, and to assist them financially by giving donations. This is because they are in need: among them are families, elderly people, children and the poor.
“They should assist them with financial contributions, whilst also supplicating to Allāh on their behalf.”

Question: “A questioner asks about the position Muslims should adopt regarding what is presently happening to our brothers in Palestine, in terms of calling to Allāh (daʿwah), giving financial assistance, or engaging in jihād alongside them?”
Answer: “What is obligatory upon the Muslims is to supplicate for their Muslim brothers and to assist them financially. Financial assistance and supplication: this is what is obligatory, and this is what benefits and helps them.”
