If this government were offered to the Salafis and they were told: Submit to our government and join us, what is the ruling and the course of action?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : I mean, if they were offered this after the establishment of this state that was imposed on all of Afghanistan, a government that Allah knows best about it, meaning it is suspicious in the eyes of many people, and it was imposed on them, and they said, "This government requires you to submit to our rule," what should they do?
The Shaykh : They should look into it. First, if the government is not derived from the people, and as you say, which is the reality and Allah knows best, that it was imposed on the people, especially since they say it is temporary. In reality, this is part of the stratagem of the Americans and their like. They had prepared the ground beforehand, and even when Yar was in power, some of his words indicated that he agreed to a temporary government and wanted to impose elections, because he believed that the overwhelming majority of the Afghan people were with him, so he was guaranteed success. There is no doubt that the system of elections is not an Islamic system at all. So the important point now is that the government is first imposed by force and is temporary. If the elite of the Afghan people, meaning the scholars and jurists, based on their knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence, do not see submission to this imposed government, and if the greater power is with them, they should not submit. Yes. However, if fighting is likely to occur between two things, then at that time they should find a new opinion, which is in the path of preserving blood and protecting it, in the name of Allah.
The questioner : O Allah, as You have favored, our Shaykh, they have a strong stratagem.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : The Americans, to the extent that they cause many Muslims to fall into confusion by arranging...
The Shaykh : ...from their plans.
The questioner : ...and they study them thoroughly so that the Muslim falls into confusion,
Al-'Umari: ...
The questioner : ...and they involve scholars in it and non-scholars, and they divide the people. Therefore, Muslims must unite around their scholars so that they may be guided by their guidance, so that their ranks are not fragmented and they are not scattered.
The Shaykh : Yes.
