The validity of citing the uprising of Ibn al-Zubayr and al-Husayn against the rulers as evidence

Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Some people cite the permissibility of rising against a ruler by pointing to the uprising of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr against al-Hajjaj, and the uprising of al-Husayn against Yazid. What is the validity of this evidence? May Allah keep you safe?

Answer:
'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr did not rise against the one in authority, because after the death of Yazid, the matter was in a state of uncertainty. So 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr rose up during this period when the Muslims did not have a general imam, the Muslims did not have a general imam. He was a noble Companion and a mujtahid (may Allah be pleased with him), but he did not rise against a general imam of the Muslims. Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) was deceived; the Shi'ah deceived him and asked him to come so they could trap him. When he fell into the trap, they abandoned him, and he was killed (may Allah be pleased with him). So he was deceived by them. Yes.
