Question:
We are connected with Abu 'Ammar from al-Sharqiyah. Go ahead, Abu 'Ammar, please. Hello, peace be upon you. Peace. And upon you, peace. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Your Eminence the Shaykh, Professor al-Fawzan. Yes, please go ahead. May Allah preserve you, the Exalted. I bear witness to Allah, Shaykh Salih, that I love you for the sake of Allah, O Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good. Yes. By the permission of Allah, we are people of the Sunnah, O Shaykh, and we trust you and your noble knowledge. You know what is happening in Yemen these days in terms of turmoil and chaos, and we are listening and watching, O Shaykh. The shaykhs have split into two groups: some are calling for revolution, led by al-Zindani, so give us a ruling, O Shaykh. If al-Zindani is among the people of knowledge that we rely on, then you are the people of the prison, O Shaykh. And some are firm on the texts of the people of the Sunnah and the community, holding that this is not permissible. So we ask you, O Shaykh, to direct a word to the shaykhs in Yemen, and to make supplication for them, so that the lands may benefit, O Shaykh. Thank you for your kindness.
Answer:
My brother, we do not intervene in the affairs of Yemen or any other place. However, we make supplication for the Muslims, asking Allah to support Islam and the Muslims, and to honor the people of religion and the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). We make this supplication. As for whether we are to blame or correct them, we do not intervene in that, because they have their own circumstances and their own affairs, and they have their own scholars. Yes.
