The Ruling on Fighting Those Who Prevent the Manifest Rites of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And before they write, Allah informed them: Is the opinion of the Muslim in establishing his state governed by a secular state, so that he obeys his state in this matter in the path of Allah?

Answer:
If the state abolishes the rites of Allah and does not establish the religion of Allah, and the Muslims have strength, it is obligatory for them to fight the people of the land who prevented the manifestation of one of the manifest rites of Islam. How much more so if they manifest the abolition of a major rite of Islam?
One fights those who refuse to call the adhan. If the people of a land refused and said, "We do not call the adhan; we gather and pray, but there is no adhan," it is obligatory to fight them. It is obligatory for the Muslims to fight them. If the people of a land prevented the zakah...
...and they said, "We do not pay zakah," it is obligatory to fight them, just as Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Companions with him fought those who withheld the zakah, because it is a manifest rite of Islam. One fights whoever refuses a manifest rite of Islam. So, whoever refuses a manifest rite of Islam is fought, provided the Muslims have strength. Yes.
