Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A scheduled time. Regarding one who does not rule by what Allah has revealed, even if it is due to a deviation or weakness on his part, is he to be challenged to prove his position?
Answer : No, it is not permissible to rebel against him, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit rebellion except under specific conditions: knowledge. Because this ruler. committed disbelief. And that what occurred from him constitutes disbelief. Not in the prayer.
And that it be explicit, meaning clear, with no room for figurative interpretation, and that we have from Allah clear evidence regarding it, with no doubt in it, and the fifth condition is the ability to remove this ruler. This last condition is what many people overlook, those who believe their ruler is a disbeliever and rebel against him. These people have caused far more harm than they have fixed, because they are incapable of resistance or removing this ruler, so the evil that resulted is many times greater than the good that resulted or would result if they had been patient and entered the houses through their doors.
