The Youth's Position on Fitnah and the Obligation to Obey the Ruler

The questioner:
May Allah greet you, Honorable Shaykh. I would like to ask you, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with well-being. I would like to ask you, Honorable Shaykh, about us as the youth of society today. Praise be to Allah, we are in a country that is implementing the Islamic Shari'ah, and praise be to Allah, our scholars, such as your eminence and the Committee of Senior Scholars, with the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah prolong the life of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz. I do not know, Shaykh, but we as the youth now, with our pledge of allegiance to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, and his Crown Prince, how do we, as youth, try to preserve ourselves from these fitnahs (trials, discord or temptation)? The ideas that are directing us from the internet and these strange pledges that keep appearing before us, how do we protect ourselves?

The presenter:
Thank you, this question is clear.

The questioner:
It is dominating us and our youth now in the current time.

The presenter:
Clear.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh, you have been generous and have not held back, may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
My brother, you are subjects and you have an imam, so it is obligatory for you to obey the ruler and to be with the group, the group of Muslims. Do not pay attention to what is on the internet or elsewhere of confusing matters, misguided fatwas, or lost speech. You are a group with an imam who is the imam of the Muslims. So follow him and adhere to his obedience in what is known to be good, yes.
