How to Obey Those Who Live in Lands Not Governed by the Shari'ah

Question:
Here, more than one question has come from people who mention that they live in some Muslim lands where the Shari'ah is not applied, and some of them live in non-Muslim lands. And some of them live in non-Muslim lands, so they ask, saying: How is obedience to be carried out?

Answer:
It is obligatory for these people, if they are in non-Muslim lands, to have an Islamic center and refer to it, and for it to contain some of their jurists, scholars, and people of good among them who resolve their problems, resolving their problems. So they should have a gathering and an Islamic center, as exists, praise be to Allah, in other lands, where there are Islamic centers to which they refer and which settle many problems. As for the one in Islamic lands, he must fear Allah and do what he can, advise, call to Allah, and advise the rulers, and perhaps Allah will set things right in the future.
