Question:
The questioner says: We believe in the truth and profess it to Allah, but we do not like to be accused of having a defect in our religion when we defend the rulers of the land and clarify the correct methodology. Is there any deficiency or blemish in our piety in doing this?
Answer:
Yes. Yes, this is a deficiency and a shortcoming in one's religion. It is obligatory for us to clarify the truth and not fear the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah. Even if they accuse us of compromising or of ingratiating ourselves with the rulers. We clarify the truth, make the truth clear, and respond to the people of falsehood. This is obligatory upon us, and in this we fear none but Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.
