The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: The sale of weapons during a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is prohibited, so if the one in authority...
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden, and listen to me regarding the prohibition, because it is aiding in falsehood. Yes.
The questioner:
So if the one in authority forbids the sale of a specific weapon outside of a fitnah, is its sale forbidden?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. Obedience to the one in authority in matters other than disobedience to Allah is obligatory. It is not permissible to disobey him, because he does not prohibit anything except where there is benefit for the Muslims and benefit for the society.
