Question:
Shaykh, this questioner says: You mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that Sa'id ibn Jubayr got involved in the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) of Ibn al-Ash'ath.
Answer:
Yes, Ibn al-Ash'ath rebelled against 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, and some scholars followed him, including Sa'id ibn Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him), based on their own ijtihad (independent legal reasoning). There is no doubt that it is not permissible to rebel against the one in authority, even if there is a deficiency in him. It is not permissible to rebel against him if his bay'ah (pledge of allegiance) has been established, even if there is a deficiency in him, as long as it does not reach the level of kufr (disbelief). Yes.
