Obedience to the ruler who rules by man-made laws
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If the ruler does not implement the law of Allah, denies it, and rules by man-made laws, is he to be obeyed?
Answer:
This depends on one’s ability and capacity. If you are able to migrate from his land to the land of Islam and the Muslims, to be with them, then it is obligatory for you to migrate. If you are not able to migrate, then hold fast to your religion and remain, while you do not approve of what the disbelievers and those who oppose the Shari'ah are doing. You do not approve of this in your heart and your religion, but you stay only out of dire necessity, while holding fast to your religion. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
