Is there a binding covenant regarding obedience and compliance?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The third question: Is there a Shari'ah covenant that obligates its holder to obedience and compliance in times of ease and hardship, in what he loves and dislikes, within the framework of this grouping, while prioritizing the Shari'ah interest?
The Shaykh : I think the answer to this question has already been given. There is nothing new in this question compared to the previous one.
The questioner : There is the covenant, meaning
The Shaykh : This ruling is only for the Caliph. Obedience in times of ease and hardship is for the Caliph only.
The questioner : And the covenant does not obligate anything.
The Shaykh : The answer has already been given.
The questioner : What is the ruling on the hierarchical structure in the Da'wah group?
The Shaykh : That is, we were told during the Hajj season that one of them mentioned a report narrated by Abu Dawud in his Sunan that Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to criticize Uthman ibn Affan when he was praying four rak'ahs in Mina during the Hajj season. He used to criticize him for that and say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only prayed two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs. And yet, Ibn Mas'ud would pray four rak'ahs behind Uthman. Some people would notice this and say to him, "You criticize him for completing the prayer, yet you pray it completely." He would say, "Disagreement is evil." This report is in the Sunan of Abu Dawud.
Another questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. My hadith scholar mentioned to me that those who argue for the obligation of obeying the prince today—and how many princes there are in the last of times—argued with a report like this regarding Ibn Mas'ud's obedience to Uthman. So we said, "Bring us Uthman so that we can apply this report." For Uthman was a Caliph. As I said earlier, the Caliph has an obedience that is not obligatory for anyone else. This is the answer to what you asked. Now, as for others
The questioner : If there is a grouping, but the work is distributed among nationalities such that each of these people works separately, but they agree on the fundamentals of the Salafi methodology, but to facilitate the Da'wah work?
The Shaykh : There is no objection to this.
