Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is obligatory for a Muslim when trials and chaos become widespread? Some of them urge people to rebel against the ruler, and they say that it is jihad.
Answer:
You must stand firm on the correct creed, and you must stay away from these callers. Do not keep their company or mix with them, and do not listen to them, their tapes, or their words, because this is a call to disobey the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Disobeying the believing ruler is disobedience to the Messenger. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 23:85 Yes.

من أطاع الأمير فقد أطاعني، ومن عصى الأمير فقد عصاني.
