军队分为两个部分:"后备军",由所有能够履行军事职责的穆斯林组成;以及"正规军",即常备武装力量中的长期服役人员,他们和其他国家雇员一样,从国库领取薪饷。

这一点源于圣战的义务,因为每位穆斯林都受命履行圣战的责任,因而也有义务为此进行训练。至于设立常备军的必要性,则基于伊斯兰教法的原则,即“完成一项义务所必需的事物本身也是义务”。由于圣战的义务无法持续不断地履行,而伊斯兰和穆斯林若非依靠常备军的存在,便无法免受异教徒的侵害,因此伊玛目有义务为自己配备一支常备军。

This is derived from the obligation of Jihad, for verily every Muslim is commanded to perform the duty of Jihad, and hence is obliged to train for it. As for the need to have a regular army, this is based on the Shariah principle which States, ‘That which is necessary to accomplish a duty is itself a duty.’ Since the duty of Jihad cannot be carried out continuously, and Islam and Muslims cannot be protected from the kuffar, except through the presence of a permanent army, the Imam is therefore obliged to have a regular army at his disposal. .
