The Ruling on Obedience to the Ruler in Disobedience or in What Is Permissible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The order of the land, it is believed that the order of the Shari'ah, and that if it increases, it is not in the time to enter
Answer:
Your men. Yes. If what the ruler has ordered is a sin, then it is not permissible to obey him in that. Yes. There is no obedience to a created being in the disobedience of the Creator. If he were to say to you, “Do not pray,” you do not obey him in that. If he were to say to you, “Shave your beard,” you do not obey him in that, because that is a sin. But if his order is for something permissible for the benefit of the Muslims, such as establishing a traffic system or other matters that are in the interest of the Muslims and organize their affairs, and there is no prohibition from the Lawgiver in it, then obedience to him in that is obligatory, and it is not permissible to disobey him in that.
