Question:
Some scholars, may Allah reward you, say that public criticism of the ruler must take into account the benefits and harms. Does this contradict the texts that command advising in private? And who determines the benefits and harms?
Answer:
We are not in need of this talk and these fabrications. We follow the evidence from the Book and the Sunnah in advising those in authority, advising the general public, and advising individuals. We follow the Book and the Sunnah in this matter. Yes.
