Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have established the obligation of adhering to the community, and I am from one of the countries where they rule by other than its law. So who is the community in my case that I must affiliate with?
Answer:
Those who are upon the methodology of truth in creed and worship, who are safe from shirk (associating partners with Allah), and who are safe from bid'ah (religious innovations), and who strive to adhere to the evidence; these are the community. Yes.
