The Ruling on Disobeying the Imam and Cursing Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on one who disobeys the order of the imam or curses him?
Answer:
To disobey the order of the imam is to disobey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), provided that he did not order a sin. If he disobeys, he has disobeyed the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, if he curses him, this is the methodology of the Khawarij. They are the ones who curse the imams and speak ill of them. They incite people against them. This is the methodology of the Khawarij. May Allah reward you.
