Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are those who call for revolutions and demonstrations and say that they differ from country to country. Is it obligatory to warn against those who call for this?
Answer:
Yes. Revolutions bring no good in any country. Revolutions bring nothing but the shedding of blood, the destruction of homes, the destruction of wealth, and the violation of honor. Revolution is not permissible. What is prescribed is jihad. Jihad in the cause of Allah with its conditions. Jihad that is valid and lawful. This is what is prescribed. As for revolutions and chaos, all of this is a condition that does not bring good. It has no result and no fruit. Yes.
