Résumé
Jihad is a central concept in the Islamic doctrine, but it relates to an exceptional situation especially as it calls on every individual to defend the community from an aggression. It can however be turned against those who launched it and lead to sedition and ruin because it justifies the use of arms and the upsetting of established hierarchies. For this very reason, the doctors of the Law - the ulemas - have always tried to delimit its application and to avoid its being launched by unauthorized individuals. However, since the end of the Afghan Jihad in 1989, there has been a proliferation of jihad, a situation that raises major doctrinal and political problems.
