Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question that says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded adhering to the Muslim community and their imams. So, what is the community? And who is the imam of the Muslims for those who live in non-Muslim lands?
Answer:
Their imam is their ruler from among the Muslims[An-Nisa 4:59] meaning from among the Muslims. So they must obey their ruler from among the Muslims in every place, because in this lies salvation from trials, evils, and deviations. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned to Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman what trials would occur, Hudhayfah said: What do you command me to do if I encounter that? He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7084 This will be safety from trials, by the permission of Allah. The Muslim will be with the Muslims and with the imam of the Muslims in his place and in his land. Yes.
