Some people’s claim that the people of the Sunnah differ on rebelling against the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks about those who say that if the imam commits open sinfulness or oppresses him, then the people of the Sunnah and the community differed on the permissibility of rebelling against him. What is your statement on this?
Answer:
This is a liar. The people of the Sunnah and the community did not differ on the fact that it is not permissible to rebel against the one in authority as long as he has not committed disbelief and has not exited the religion. Mere error that does not reach the level of disbelief does not permit rebelling against him. This is what the people of the Sunnah and the community agreed upon. Rather, those who permitted rebelling against him for mere error are the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij. These people are not from the people of the Sunnah and the community; they are Mu'tazilah or Khawarij and are not from the people of the Sunnah and the community. Their disagreement on this is not considered, because it is a disagreement with the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
