The Ruling on Leaving During Fitnah and Seeking Livelihood

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Thank you. This is in

The Shaykh:
I mean, when there is a need, when there is a need, if leaving would harm him and fitnah and evils have occurred. But if leaving is beneficial through calling to Allah, enjoining good, forbidding evil, and seeking livelihood, then there is no harm. However, when there is a need, as in the hadith
The best of people is a mujahid in the path of Allah. It was said, "Then where?" He said, "A believer in a valley among the valleys,خير الناس رجل مجاهد في سبيل الله، فقيل ثم أين؟ قال مؤمن في شعب من الشعاب،
engaged in worshipping his Rubb in a mountain valley, leaving the people secure from his mischief.يعبد الله ويدع الناس من شره،
Riyad as-Salihin 1289
I mean, when there is fear of fitnah and apprehension, one should distance oneself from mixing with people. But as long as mixing is beneficial through calling to Allah, enjoining good, forbidding evil, and teaching the ignorant, then mixing is better. He said, regarding the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, do you have it in the marginal notes? The first hadith.

The presenter:
Al-Tirmidhi narrated it, and its chain is hasan.

The Shaykh:
Yes, he said.

The presenter:
Al-Tirmidhi narrated it along with the hadith of two thousand and four hundred and three months, and its chain is hasan.

The Shaykh:
Just that.

The presenter:
Next year. He said, "I said so and so." He said, "And in it is Ibrahim ibn 'Abdullah ibn Hatib, and he is of unknown status. Ibn Hibban authenticated him according to his criterion, and Shaykh Ahmad Shakir (may Allah have mercy on him) was misled by him, as is his custom, so he authenticated the hadith. And Malik narrated it as a report from the saying of 'Isa (peace be upon him). I have detailed my statement on this in the book of Weak Hadiths."

The Shaykh:
In any case, its corroborating narrations are many. It is sufficient to say what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silentمن كان يوم الله واليوم الآخر فلنقل خيرا أو ليصمت
Narrated by the two Shaykhs in the two Sahihs. Guarding the tongue is a very important matter.
