If that is the case, what is the ruling on confronting them with the sword by the people of strength, such as the army, for example?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And if that is the case, what is the ruling on confronting them with the sword by the people of strength and power, such as the army?
The Shaykh : Such as the army. In my opinion, this question is a continuation of the question asked earlier regarding paper currency. This question is a matter of imagination. How do you imagine an army that can eliminate the rule other than what Allah has revealed, when it is part of that rule? This is imagination. So do not be imaginative; be realistic. What is the third question?
The questioner : And what is the ruling on those who apply these unbelief-based man-made systems?
The Shaykh : The answer has already been given.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead, and may Allah protect you as well.
