The questioner : What is the ruling on the third?
The Shaykh : As for the ruling on the third, if it is for the defense of the ruler, then there is nothing wrong with it; indeed, it may become obligatory. These are rulings that may be general, applying even to someone other than the ruler. Perhaps you will hear this said regarding a scholar among the scholars, a judge among the judges, a merchant among the merchants, or the like. In such cases, the ruling applies to him.
