The questioner : In our discussion of the topic of rebellion now, I do not want us to address the possibility of rebellion, because as I mentioned a moment ago, that means: what will we do?
The Shaykh : Yes, so we address why?
The questioner : Is there permissibility for this matter if there is clear disbelief, as we touched upon a moment ago, from the tongues of some of the rulers?

The questioner : Or.
The Shaykh : That is it.

The Shaykh : I am telling you, we do not want to discuss that, so let us rest, also, that rebellion is permissible, permissible, so let us rest... from the inquiry.
The questioner : No, but the matter relates to this issue.
The Shaykh : Are we not yet on something else?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And that is...
The Shaykh : Yes.
