Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: What is your view of those who say that the ones in authority are only the scholars and not the rulers?
Answer:
They say the ones in authority are only the scholars. In fact, some say the ones in authority are the rulers, and it is said the rulers and the scholars. There are two positions: do the scholars count among them or not? There are two positions. As for saying that the ones in authority are only the scholars, I do not know of anything to support this.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
