The Ruling on Following Other Than Allah in Legislation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, does following other than Allah in legislation fall under shirk (associating partners with Allah) in obedience, as the scholars have stated?
Answer:
Yes. And if you obey him, you are indeed mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). In the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance), they controlled the House, while Allah had made it forbidden (to them). So whoever obeys the jahiliyyah and makes the House permissible for himself is a mushrik, having made Allah a partner in making things lawful and forbidden.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
