Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I am a student from the Asian continent, and some of the students of knowledge here speak about the legitimacy of the rulers and other matters. Is this prescribed for them, or must they refer to the scholars in this matter?
Answer:
They must refer to the correct books of 'aqidah, the 'aqidah of the righteous Salaf, which mention what is required of the rulers. They should refer to the 'aqidah, and not to the books of the partisans and such things. They should refer to the correct 'aqidah, which is based on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
