The Ruling on Breaking the Pledge of Allegiance and Moving to the Pledge of Another Ruler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a choice in the pledge of allegiance such that one may break the pledge with any ruler he wishes and move to the pledge of another ruler, whether in his own country or in another country?
Answer:
If the pledge of allegiance has been made in the prescribed manner, it is not permissible for anyone to rebel against it. If he rebels, he is one who has left the community, and if he leaves the community, he has removed the bond of Islam from his neck, as in the hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then Mishkat al-Masabih 173Isnād Da'īf (Zubair `Aliza'i). So once the pledge of allegiance is made, it is not permissible for anyone to oppose it or to pledge allegiance to whoever he wishes, because the pledge of the Muslims has been completed, concluded, and established, so opposing it is not permissible. Yes.
