The questioner : O Shaykh, we have come to know that the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1205Sahih (Darussalam), the intended meaning is not approval, but rather to describe the reality...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But is it permissible, O Shaykh, if the king protects a sanctuary, for people to graze their livestock in that sanctuary, or is obedience to him obligatory so that they refrain...
The Shaykh : If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded us to be patient with what he takes from our wealth, how can we not be patient with his preventing us from something of the action of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)? It is obligatory for us not to confront him, yes.
Indeed for every king is a sanctuary
ألا وإن لكل ملك حمىThe Shaykh : Yes.
