Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is obedience and loyalty to those in authority, in matters other than disobedience to Allah, considered part of the creed and among the fundamentals of the people of the Sunnah and the community, or is it among the branches?
Answer:
This is mentioned in the books of the creed as one of the gates of the creed: that among the fundamentals of the people of the Sunnah and the community is obedience and loyalty to those in authority in what is right. Look, in *al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* this is listed among the fundamentals of the people of the Sunnah and the community: obedience and loyalty to the rulers of the Muslims in matters other than disobedience. Yes.
