Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And it is not that you are the people of Allah. Allah calls His people to [unclear] in the verse regarding the clearing of the land, accepting the people, and if it were not that you accept, and you do not look east, that your revelations are for your original command, those who reveal to them the land for Allah, so when your children begin and are safe from the sins of Allah, that He misguides your children and you clear the truth, then in the verse is not [unclear], so the people of what is not for us are my affairs
Answer:
This is false speech. This is not jihad. The explanation is not that it is rising against the ruler and removing the authority of the Muslims. This is contrary to jihad. It is obligatory to unite the word, unify the leadership, and obey the ruler and not oppose him.
This is what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) have prescribed. As for the claim that jihad is removing unjust rulers in order to make room for calling people to Islam, this is a false statement. It is not permissible to remove unjust rulers; they have the right to the pledge of allegiance, and they have the right to obedience and compliance, even if they are unjust, as the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) confirm this, and as stated by Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:59] He coupled their obedience with His obedience and the obedience of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
Even if they are not infallible, and even if they are not safe from errors one hundred percent, as long as they do not associate major shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah, and do not disbelieve in Allah with open disbelief, then their obedience remains, and it is not permissible to rise against them, or to belittle their status, or to spread their disgraces before the people. All of this causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), stirs up discord, and divides the Muslims. Hearing your speech. How is hearing the speech? If it calls you to disbelief, then do not listen.
It is not permissible to listen to the call to disbelief, shirk (associating partners with Allah), and atheism. But if he is calling you to a permissible matter, something permissible that has benefit for the Muslims, then there is no harm. However, it is not permissible for the disbeliever ruler to remain if the Muslims are able to replace him with someone else. But if they are not able, then they are patient until the opportunity is available to them, even if it is after a long time. Yes.

obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you
