Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does rising against the rulers occur only with the sword, or does it include slandering them, inciting people to oppose them, and demonstrating against them?
Answer:
We mentioned this to you. We said that rising against the rulers occurs by rising against them with the sword, which is the most severe form of rising, and it occurs through speech: cursing them, insulting them, and speaking about them in gatherings and on minbars. This incites people and urges them to rise against the one in authority. Yes, and it diminishes the status of the rulers in their eyes. This is rising; speech is rising. Yes.
