The Ruling on Calling for Demonstrations and Rising Against Rulers

Question:
He asks: Are the callers who call for rising against the rulers of the Muslims and call for demonstrations and sit-ins included in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they are callers at the gates of Hell?

Answer:
Without a doubt, those who want to cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) among the Muslims, and who want to revolt against the rulers, and who want to divide the word, these are callers at the gates of Hell, without a doubt. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded the unity of the group and commanded obedience and listening. And He commanded the gathering of the word. Because this is the cause of victory from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for division, negligence, and the splitting of the group of Muslims, and forbidding obedience and listening to the rulers of the Muslims, these are causes of fitnah. This is opening the gates of fitnah and evil, so we do not listen to such people. Yes.
