Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for the Muslim community to rebel against the ruler if he is ruling by other than what Allah has revealed?!
The Shaykh : And who is the Muslim community, and where are they?
The questioner : Those who know the truth.
The Shaykh : Where are they?
The questioner : The group: the faction about which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke.
The Shaykh : My brother, where are they? Tell me, where are these factions located?
The questioner : They are on the land of Allah!
The Shaykh : On the land of Allah, gathered together and not scattered?
The questioner : Not scattered.
The Shaykh : Yes, can these people use their hands to rebel against the disbelieving ruler?
The questioner : Okay, what are the conditions, I mean?
The Shaykh : Answer, answer, answer.
The questioner : If they are able to.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Amen, O Lord of the worlds.
The Shaykh : By Allah, you are misguided, just as the Shaykh said perfectly.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : I asked you a question!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Are they gathered together or scattered?! You said scattered, and this is the reality. Can the scattered ones rebel against the disbelieving ruler, the disbelieving ruler armed with various types of weapons? Can they or not? Why don't you answer?!
The questioner : They cannot.
The Shaykh : This is the answer.
The questioner : Okay, and if there is a small number?
The Shaykh : Listen, may Allah guide you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner : Please, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You will go back and say if there is a small number.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Scattered or gathered together?
The questioner : The small number?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Not gathered together!
The Shaykh : Where are they gathered together?!
The questioner : In the same country or region.
The Shaykh : Gathered together and acting upon His saying - Exalted is He - :[Al-Anfal 8:60] ?! Say yes or no!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.
The questioner: Amen.
The Shaykh : Are you being arrogant?
The questioner : I am not being arrogant, no, by Allah.
The Shaykh : Do they have weapons?
The questioner : They have weapons.
The Shaykh : Do they have the bond of the horses?
The questioner : They have the bond of the horses, no, no, please!
The Shaykh : You are misguided.
The questioner : It is not a condition.
The Shaykh : You are misguided, what is the bond of the horses today?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the bond of the horses today?
The questioner : Heavy equipment.
The Shaykh : Yes, where are the heavy weapons, where are they? Hidden underground, is that it?!
The questioner : Okay, in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they fought with swords!
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, my brother, it is not permissible to rebel, except when there is a group, and they have an imam pledged to by the Muslims, and they work in the path of Islam first, and the call to it, then they apply this verse:[Al-Anfal 8:60], before this it is not permissible.
The student : We asked your eminence about the Afghan mujahideen, you said: I issued a ruling to your eminence that it is not permissible even to migrate to Afghanistan, it became a state of Islam, abodes of Islam, I asked you a question: Is it obligatory for the Muslim to migrate to it? You said: They are now fighting among themselves.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Okay, who are these people?
The Shaykh : What is the connection between this and that?
The questioner : They struggled in the path of Allah.
The Shaykh : What is the connection between this and that?
Another questioner : That they have weapons, I mean?
The questioner : They have weapons, O Shaykh, I mean they started with the mujahideen.
The Shaykh : My brother, I told you, only the weapon of Allah, may Allah guide you?! Now, now, my last word, what was it?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : What was it?
The questioner[Al-Anfal 8:60], the pledge of allegiance.
The Shaykh : Rest, take it easy, look, brothers, the children want to ride, please.
The questioner : Okay, the last question, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : But my brother, that is enough, leave.
The Shaykh : And who is the Muslim community, and where are they?
