Rebellion Against a Fasiq Ruler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is rebellion against a fasiq (open sinner) ruler a matter of scholarly disagreement, and do some people say that it is based on considerations of harm and public benefit?

Answer:
Leave us alone with these issues. It is not permissible to rebel against the Muslim ruler. Even if he is oppressive, or even if he has some sins, as long as he has not left the religion, he has not left the faith. Yes.
