The Gathering of Muslims in Lands of Disbelief Under an Amir and His Pledge of Allegiance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In lands of disbelief, such as European or Russian countries, when Islam is weak, is it prescribed for the Muslims there to gather in groups under a single amir who possesses knowledge of the Shari'ah, in order to strengthen the da'wah and to prevent the Muslims from becoming scattered? What is the ruling on the pledge of allegiance (bay'ah) to that amir?
Answer:
Yes, this is correct. The matter of minorities in lands of disbelief is that they gather around their best and most righteous member and pledge allegiance to him with a specific pledge. It is not a general pledge; rather, it is a specific pledge within their location and their group. This is what is called Islamic centers. There is nothing wrong with this, and it is in the interest of the Muslims in those lands. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
