What is the ruling on rebelling against the rulers in this age?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They reward the Companions even if they did not rebel against him, but those who are currently rebelling against the rulers currently in power
The Shaykh : Who are they?
The questioner : I mean, if the people of Ta'if were to rebel now against some of the rulers currently in power. Yes.
The Shaykh : Most of these are rebels, yes, these are among the rebels. Because most of the rulers in the Muslim community are deserving of rebellion against them due to their open sinfulness, meaning that for those who rebel against them, there is a figurative interpretation regarding their open sinfulness and lewdness, and the fact that they make lawful what Allah has forbidden, and some of them may have explicit disbelief by casting Islam behind their backs and ruling by other than Islam,
