Jihad farz qilingan barcha musulmonlar uchun, taqvodor yoki gunohkor bo‘lishidan, e’tiqodi sidqli yoki munofiq bo‘lishidan qat’i nazar. Jihad oyatlari nozil bo‘lganda, ular umumiy holda keldi. Matnlar umumiy holda kelgan bo‘lsa, ularni aniqlovchi xos matn kelmagunicha, ular umumiy bo‘lib qoladi. Ba’zi musulmonlar uchun jihadni farz qiluvchi va boshqalar uchun farz qilmaydigan xos matn kelmagan, shuning uchun matnlar umumiy bo‘lib qolaveradi. Shu sababli munofiqlarni, gunohkorlarni va g‘azab tufayli jang qiladiganlarni Islom lashkariga yozishga ruxsat beriladi. Ularning sidqli mo‘minlar bilan birga dushmanga qarshi jangda va Islom lashkarida qatnashishiga ruxsat berilishi jihad oyatlarining umumiyligiga asoslanadi. Bundan tashqari, Rasululloh ﷺ munofiqlar boshlig‘i Abdulloh ibn Ubayyning yordamidan jihadda foydalangan; u ba’zi jangларда ishtirok etgan va Uhud kunida jang boshlanishidan oldin u bilan ﷺ harbiy maslahatlar qilingan. Tabukda jangdan orqada qolishga munofiqlarga ruxsat bergani uchun Alloh taolo Rasulullohni ﷺ tanbeh berdi. Alloh subhanahu va taolo aytadi:

Jihad is obligatory upon Muslims without distinction between the pious and the impious, or the sincere in belief and the hypocrite. When the ayaat of jihad came, they came in general. When the texts come in general, they remain general as long as there is no specific text specifying them; there came no text specifying jihad for some Muslims and not others, so the texts remain general. Accordingly it is allowed to enrol hypocrites, the impious and the one who fights due to anger in the Islamic army. As for the permission for them to be present with the sincere believers in fighting the enemies, and the Islamic army, this is due to the generality of the ayaat of jihad. This is also because the Messenger (saw) took the assistance of the head of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin ‘Ubayy, in jihad; he attended some battles and the military consultations with him (saw) on the day of Uhud before the battle. Allah (swt) reproved the Messenger when he permitted the hypocrites to stay behind the fighting in Tabuk. Allah (swt) said:
