Is the one in authority to be obeyed if he prevents the carrying out of a charitable work?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Obedience is only in what is right," imply that if the one in authority prevents the carrying out of a charitable work, we do not listen to his words and do not obey what he orders?

Answer:
My brother, the one in authority over the Muslims does not prevent doing good. He only prevents certain actions by some of those in charge of associations or donations, who may have actions that are not sound. So the one in authority prevents this. As for him preventing people from giving charity, I do not think he prevents people from visiting their relatives, I do not think he prevents them from feeding the hungry or clothing the naked, I do not think he prevents this, if Allah wills. But he prevents certain actions that may be subject to his observation. Yes.
