Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: How is obedience to the Muslim ruler in a permissible matter or a disliked matter?
Answer:
The disliked is of the type of the permissible. The disliked is that for which one is rewarded for leaving it, but not punished for leaving it. The permissible is that which is equal on both sides, balanced on both sides; it contains no dislike and no praise; it is simply balanced on both sides. As long as it has not reached the forbidden, for the forbidden matter, obedience in it is not permissible. But as for the disliked matter only, there is no harm in committing it, because it is permissible. And the dislike is removed in the case of pressing need. Note that the dislike is removed in the case of pressing need, and the prohibition is removed in the case of dire necessity. The prohibition is not removed except in the case of dire necessity; it is not committed except in the case of dire necessity. But the disliked is committed in the case of pressing need, even if there is no dire necessity. Yes.
