The Ruling on Obedience to One Who Is Not the Most Fit When Appointed by the Ruler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Positive, not the original. And at first, the non-original became, and the Muslims became non-original, so does it weaken?

Answer : Yes, if the ruler appoints one who is not the most fit, then it is obligatory to obey him except in disobedience to Allah. His account is with Allah. They have a right over their subjects to hear and obey, and they have a duty to appoint the most fit person for the subjects. If they do not fulfill their duty, it is obligatory for us to fulfill our duty.
