The Ruling on Rising Against the Ruler and Fighting with Weapons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The enemies who have weapons with them, or many against the last one, do not harm him.
Answer:
Therefore, one should not play with weapons, and one should not encourage his brother to deal with weapons; rather, understanding should be reached without weapons. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 9:36, so he is a martyr and not one of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. The Prophet ordered unity and forbade division. It is obligatory for Muslims to hold fast to unity, distance themselves from division, and beware of its causes. Whoever engages in that has adopted the opinion of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and proceeded in the ship of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever kills 'Amir is 'Amir by Yasar, the known one, who kills 'Amir, the group that is absent." Muslim narrated it in the hadith of Ibn Salamah. Al-Bukhari also narrated it from the hadith of Sa'id. He said: "It is written about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: It is written about Mārib in the aftermath of Bābilah." He was killed on the day of Siffin in a row that was with 'Ali, so he was killed by the hands of the companions of Mu'awiyah. It became clear that they were rebels against 'Ali. Then the matters were settled by the hand of al-Hasan. Al-Hasan ibn 'Ali renounced the fighting, and the matter settled with Mu'awiyah after the killing of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and things calmed down in its aftermath. We ask Allah for safety and well-being. Yes. What is the right of the created beings is established against them, and what is the right of Allah is pardoned by repentance. But if they took wealth, they are required to return the wealth. If they killed someone without right, they are required to pay retaliation. Yes.
The enemies who have weapons with them, or many against the last one, do not harm him.
Answer:
Therefore, one should not play with weapons, and one should not encourage his brother to deal with weapons; rather, understanding should be reached without weapons. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who rebels against obedience to the ruler, abandons the Muslim community and then dies
من خرج عن الطاعة، وفارق الجماعة، ومات
