Applying the law to the weak rather than the strong
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is observed in this age is that in countries governed by man-made law, that law is above everyone. For example, ten years ago, the American court ruled to remove and dismiss President Nixon. However, in some Islamic countries, the ruling is applied to the weak. I ask that this be discussed and clarified for those who are confused by the matter and have been deceived by Western civilization.
Answer:
May Allah guide them. As for you and your brothers, focus on yourselves in calling people to Allah, guiding people to what is good, and being upright in the command of Allah, until people submit to the command of Allah. Yes.
