Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on the one who says that obedience to the ruler is not applicable in our time, and that he does not believe in it, but rather believes that the ruler is bound by a constitution; if he fulfills it, he is to be obeyed, and if he does not fulfill it, he is not to be obeyed?
Answer:
This is disobedience to Allah and His Messenger.[An-Nisa 4:59] The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever obeys Sahih Ibn Hibban 23:85 This is the path of the Khawarij; it is not the path of the people of the Sunnah and the community.
