Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Do ministers and managers of government departments have the same rights as the rulers, such that it is not permissible for a person to speak ill of them or disobey their orders, provided those orders do not involve disobedience to Allah?
Answer:
This is not permissible for him. If he is under a manager, this manager has authority over him within the scope of his work. He orders him and forbids him, and he must comply.
