Is the pledge of allegiance to the ruler obligatory?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the pledge of allegiance to the ruler ...?

The Shaykh : The pledge of allegiance to the ruler is obligatory, but this does not mean that every person must pledge allegiance, including an old woman in her chamber or a virgin in her seclusion. No, if the prominent people of the community pledge allegiance, and those who hold the power to bind and release do so, then his authority and rule are established.
