The questioner:
The questioner asks: Does the supplication for calamities require the permission of the ruler of the country or the Imam of the Muslims?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it requires the involvement of the scholars of the country, the mufti to whom legal rulings are delegated. It is required that he consults in this matter, or that the Imam acts without consulting the one responsible for fatwas in the country. Yes.
The questioner:
I will tell you the matter.
The Shaykh:
The fatwa in the country belongs either to the mufti or to the recognized judge of the country. These matters are in a state of chaos.
