Advising the Ruler Through the Pulpit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some people claim that they cannot reach the ruler to advise him directly, and that they have no means of doing so other than the pulpit. He says:
Answer:
No, the pulpit is not acceptable, no, and a thousand times no. If you are unable to reach him or correspond with him, then you are excused, my brother. Remain silent until you are able to do so and an opportunity presents itself for you. As for the pulpit, no, this is not permissible. Yes.
