Question:
He says: Do you advise those wanted by the security authorities to turn themselves in?
Answer:
Without a doubt. First, this is obedience to the one in authority. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[An-Nisa 4:59]. Second, this is a return to the truth. Returning to the truth is a virtue. Returning to the truth is better than persisting in falsehood. Third, this is in the interest of the one who returns; his return to the truth and the right path, and his turning himself in, is for his benefit in this world and the Hereafter. He has no right to expose himself to punishment or to expose himself to torment in the Hereafter. He must return and free himself from this crime and not remain in it, lest he be punished in this world.

أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ
