The Methodology of the Salaf Regarding Rising Against the Rulers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Allah is the Greatest.
The presenter:
Sahih Muslim 379. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hurry to prayer, hurry to prayer. Hurry to success, hurry to success. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh:
There is no god but Allah.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is this statement correct, namely that the old methodology of the Salaf was that they held that it was permissible to rise against unjust rulers?
The Shaykh:
Then we ask Allah for well-being. This is a false statement. The methodology of the Salaf is that they do not hold that it is permissible to rise against the rulers of the Muslims as long as they have not committed a nullifier of the nullifiers of Islam. This is not the methodology of the Salaf, neither the early ones nor the followers of the Salaf. Yes.
Allah is the Greatest.
The presenter:
Allah is the Greatest; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad Is the Messenger of Allah
