Rebellion Against the Unjust Ruler and the Methodology of the Salaf

Question:
This questioner says: We hear some of those who claim to be scholars say that rebelling against the ruler, if he is unjust, is the methodology of the Salaf.

Answer:
A liar, this is a liar, and he does not know the methodology of the Salaf. The methodology of the Salaf is that they do not rebel against the unjust ruler as long as he is a Muslim. They are patient with his injustice and his tyranny; they are patient with that and do not rebel against him, because rebelling against him involves a greater harm than the shedding of blood, the division of the word, and the breaking of the bond of obedience. Its harms are many. So they are patient with his injustice, his sins, and his shortcomings in himself, for the sake of uniting the word and preferring the benefits that follow from that, in order to avert harms and corruptions. Yes.
