Our Duty Toward the Rulers and the Scholars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has a second question, Honorable Shaykh. I understood from it that he is asking: What is our duty toward our rulers and our distinguished scholars?
Answer:
Our duty is to listen to them and obey them, as long as it does not involve disobedience to Allah. Our duty is also to make du'a' (supplication) for them, praying for their success, righteousness, and steadfastness. Their right upon us is great, because they are the rulers of the Muslims, upon whom the word is united and the community is unified, and they defend the sanctity of Islam and the Muslims. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
