Could you tell me what Fardh-e-Ain and Fardh-e-Kifaayah are and what is the difference between the two

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Desai

Could you also tell me which one means we all have to go and fight

Answer:

1. Fardh-e-Ayn: It is an obligatory act which every individual has to fulfil, e.g. Fardh Salaat. (Shaami vol.1 pg.42; HM Saeed)

2. Fardh-e-Kifaayah: It is an obligatory act, however, by some people acting upon it the rest shall be absolved of their obligation, e.g. Janaaza Salaat. (Ibid)
