The Ruling on Advising the Rulers

Question:
The Shaykh: This questioner says: Is advising the rulers of the Muslims obligatory for everyone, or is it specific to a certain group of people and not others?

Answer:
It is obligatory for the advisor to the ruler to convey it to him with knowledge, wisdom, and his ability to reach the ruler. As for the one who is unable to do so, he is excused, and he should remain silent. He should remain silent and not speak in gatherings, as that would cause corruption and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
And rebellion against the rulers. If he is able to convey the advice to them, and he has knowledge such that they will not object to it, and he has knowledge, and if he does not have knowledge, they will object to it, saying to him, "You are the one who is wrong." What does he say if he does not have knowledge? He must have knowledge, and he must have the ability to contact them. Yes. May Allah reward you and benefit us with your knowledge.
