Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, from this perspective, I would like to ask Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) about adhering to the regulations and laws. There are those who are lax in this regard. We need guidance from the Shaykh on this matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory to obey the one in authority in the commands he issues and the prohibitions he forbids. It is obligatory to comply[An-Nisa 4:59]. The one in authority does not establish regulations except where there is public benefit for the people, so he must obey the one in authority in this and not contradict him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
