The Methodology of the Salaf Regarding Rising Against Unjust Rulers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is this statement correct, namely that the old methodology of the Salaf was that they held that it was permissible to rise against unjust rulers?
Answer:
This is a false statement. The methodology of the Salaf is that they do not see rising against the rulers of the Muslims as long as they have not committed a nullifier of the nullifiers of Islam. This is the methodology of the Salaf, not that of the early scholars or the followers of the Salaf. Yes.
