The Ruling on Rising Against the Ruler and Their Citing Sa'id ibn Jubayr as Evidence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says that some of the Dutch are concerned with rising against the ruler, citing what happened during the time of al-Hajjaj, and those who rose against him, among whom was Sa'id ibn Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) when they rose against al-Hajjaj. So what is the ruling on that, if we are to be rewarded?
Answer:
This is a statement with no basis, no foundation, and no sense. The Muslims have continued to adhere to obedience and submission. Although some unrest occurred in certain periods, the majority of Muslims adhere to obedience and submission. If some of them exhibit unrest or rebellious tendencies, they condemn it and strive against it. As for the claim that Sa'id ibn Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him), one of the Imams of the Salaf, rose against the ruler, this is a lie and a fabrication against him. Who is it that establishes that Sa'id ibn Jubayr was on the methodology of the Khawarij and that he rose against the ruler? Perhaps these people say things in their examples that they do not verify and do not understand, and they attribute these crimes to the Imams of the Salaf. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
