Explanation of the phrase "fighting with the prince" in al-Mukhtasar al-Fiqhi

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a phrase appeared in your book, al-Mukhtasar al-Fiqhi, and I would like you to explain it. It says: "The majority hold that one goes out to fight with every prince, whether he is just or tyrannical, if he is a violator of the covenant or a Khariji, as this is a prescribed fight. If the fight is not permissible, they do not fight with him."

Answer:
The phrase needs to be reviewed; it needs to be reviewed. If you review it, it will become clear to you. If you review it, it will become clear to you. The point is that one fights with the imam if the fighting is prescribed, such as fighting the rebels (baghy), the Khawarij, and highway robbers. Fighting these groups is prescribed, so it is obligatory for the subjects to fight with the imam. However, if the fighting is not prescribed, the subjects should advise the imam and not fight with him, because that would be injustice.
