The call to revoke the pledge of allegiance from the one in authority
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are those who call upon the youth, especially on the internet, to revoke the pledge of allegiance from the one in authority of this country. The reason for this is the existence of riba (usury or interest) banks and the prevalence of apparent evil in this country. So what is your guidance, may Allah preserve you?
Answer:
Our guidance is that this is invalid speech and is not acceptable. It calls to misguidance and calls to dividing the word. This must be denounced, and his speech must be rejected and not heeded, because he calls to falsehood, calls to evil, and calls to harm and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
