Question:
This is a question that says: There are those who argue with the orders of the leadership and the rulers, whether in public or private gatherings, or through social media, and they spread and broadcast and claim that this is a matter of clarification and criticism. Is this permissible? And what is your guidance for students in such sensitive and delicate matters?
Answer:

Yes.
