Rebellion against the ruler by speech without the sword
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it necessary for rebellion against the ruler to be with the sword? Is it called rebellion if it is without a sword? And is it appropriate for us to say of those who rebel that they are not from the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
Rebelling against the ruler of the Muslims is done with the sword, which is more severe, or with speech. It may be with speech without a sword if you call for rebellion against him and his disobedience, splitting the rope of obedience, even if you do not carry the sword. Then this is rebellion against the ruler.
And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[An-Nisa 4:59]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged obedience and loyalty to the rulers, even if they are unjust and even if they oppress, for their obedience is obligatory because of the unity of the word, the return of the enemy, and the spread of security. Yes.

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ
