Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Some people feel discomfort and a tightness in their hearts when speaking about the rights of the rulers. Many people state this only to please them and for the sake of worldly interests. They say, “It is sufficient for us to acknowledge obedience and compliance without speaking much about this matter or reminding people of it.” What is your opinion?
Answer:
If he dislikes this, then this is the opinion of the Khawarij, and this is from the characteristics of the Khawarij. If he dislikes it, then he has agreed with the decree that he should fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), be content with the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and replace the dislike in his heart with faith. He should not feel any discomfort regarding what this Messenger commanded, rather, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commanded it, and this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it.
