Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some claim that the foundation of obedience and compliance is a political doctrine established by rulers from the time of the Salaf to protect their authority. What is your opinion, Your Eminence?
Answer:
Answer: O, glorified be Allah! Is it not in the Qur'an: "O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you"? Is it not in the Sunnah: "Obey Allah and maintain obedience and compliance, even if a slave is appointed over you"? Is this from the politics of rulers, or from the politics of the Shari'ah that came in the Book and the Sunnah? Yes.
