Is working with the oppressor to alleviate his oppression a cause for suspicion?

The questioner : Shaykh, is it not obligatory for a person to remove the cause for suspicion on earth?

The Shaykh : From himself?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : In this matter, may Allah bless you, any person to whom blame is directed can say, "I am doing this for the benefit of the Muslims."

The questioner : Fine, no one asked him. Yes.

The Shaykh : If no one asked him, it is not permissible for anyone to enter a state of suspicion until he is distinguished.

The questioner : And early on, he placed himself in that position.

The Shaykh : He did not place himself there; he wants the injustice. Every person who wants reform, if accused of having a bad intention, says, "I do not want reform," and no one asks the people about it. The hypocrites: a man from the Muslims came with a lot of money, and what did they say? They said, "This is one who is concerned with his own interests." And a man came with a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), and what did they say? They said, "Allah is rich, He does not need your sa'." And all of them wanted good. No one listens to the people. Fix what is between you and your Lord, and Allah will fix what is between you and the people.

The questioner : Allah is the Greatest.
