The Ruling on Speaking About the Rulers and Backbiting Them

Question:
(peace and blessings be upon him). Some of the young men, may Allah guide them, go to the place and describe them with inappropriate times, and if this is brought to them, it is not permissible and is not from the way of the Salaf. He said: There is no value to what

Answer:
It is not permissible to backbite the rulers of the Muslims or to speak about them; rather, it is obligatory to make du'a' for them. It is obligatory to make du'a' for them. Obedience to them is in what is right, so it is not permissible to speak about them because this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and causes evil. Also, this creates enmity between the shepherd and the flock, and this is considered among the hypocrites and the talebearers who say this kind of speech. He must repent to Allah, the Exalted, if he has backbitten them and sees some deficiency, he should advise the rulers; he should advise them. But that he sits and talks about them, and considers this to be from the religion, or that this is not from the religion. This is backbiting. Speaking about the rulers is backbiting.
This is backbiting, and indeed it is among the most severe backbiting because it leads to the disruption of this matter. It is not permissible. Then we ask this poor person: Can he be fixed without rulers? I mean, if these rulers went away, what would he do? The rulers whom Allah has sent to the lands, who maintain security, establish the hudud (the fixed Qur'anic punishments), repel oppression, and repel the disbelievers. If they were to go, God forbid, what would happen to the state of the poor person? I mean, he wishes for the removal of the blessing.
