on Saturday, that fighting outside Afghanistan is not religiously sanctioned "jihad" but rather war, which had been barred by Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, according to AFP.
"If anyone goes outside of Afghanistan for the goal of jihad, it won´t be called jihad," Akhundzada said, according to Mujahid.
"If the emir prevents the mujahideen (fighters) from going to battle and they still do it, this is war, not jihad."
In Islam, the Arabic term "jihad" is used to describe a wide range of religious struggles, from the private spiritual realm to taking part in combat.
The statement comes days after Pakistain urged the Afghan interim government to take action against Death Eaters operating on its soil to stop "transnational terrorism" following a deadly suicide kaboom in a tribal district claiming more than 60 lives.
The deadly blast took place last Sunday evening in Bajaur district's Khar, a former tribal area bordering Afghanistan, at the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed concerns over the "liberty of action available" to Death Eaters in Afghanistan, urging the Taliban-led interim government to take action to stop "transnational terrorism".
The premier noted with concern the involvement of the Afghan citizens in the suicide kaboom s and the liberty of action available to the elements hostile to Pakistain in planning and executing such cowardly attacks on innocent civilians from the sanctuaries across the border.
