موقفنا من ولاة الأمر Our Position Towards Rulers – Sheikh Muhammad Al-Tahiri فضيلة الشيخ محمد هشام الطاهري Alhamdulilah (all praise be to Allah) and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet of Allah. فقد كثر القيل والقال على ولاة الامر من المسلمين Talking against Muslims leaders have increased, وهذا امر لا يجوز لان مما يجب على المسلم في حق ولي الامر إذا استتب له الامر بما يجب له السمع والطاعة بالمعروف and this is not permissible, because what is obligatory upon a Muslim towards the established ruler is to hear and obey him in that which is lawful. كما قال الامام الطحاوي رحمه الله ولا نرى السيف على أحد من امة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم الا من وجب عليه السيف As Imam At-Tahawi, may Allah have mercy on him said: We don’t see war against anyone from the ummah (nation) of Muhammad ﷺ except those we’re obligated to fight. ولا نرى الخروج على ائمتنا ولاة امورنا وان جاروا ولا ندعوا عليهم ولا ننزع يدا من طاعتهم And we don’t see making Khuroj (rebellion) against our leaders and rulers even if they oppress. We don’t make du’a (supplication) against them, and we don’t abandon obedience to them. ونرى طاعتهم من طاعة الله فريضة ما لم يأمروا بمعصية وندعوا لهم بالصلاح والمعافاة And we see that obeying them is part of obeying Allah, and it is obligatory (to obey them) in that which isn’t disobedience (to Allah). Also, we make du’a for them to be righteous and for their well-being. فلا يجوز لمسلم ان يتكلم بالقيل والقال وبالظن والوهم يقول سمعت ويقول رأيت وقلت وقالوا So, it is not permissible for a Muslim to talk according to hearsay and assumptions, he says: I heard, I saw, I said and they said. بل لو كانت هذه الوقائع والاحداث صحيحة مئة في المئة لما جاز نشرها في وسائل الاتصال Rather, even if these incidents and events were one hundred percent true, it wouldn’t be permissible to spread them through social media. لان الواجب هو الدعاء لولي الامر لا فضيحته وفضح امره الا ترون ان الامام احمد رحمه الله وائمة السنة في زمانه قد ابتلوا بأئمة الجور فماذا كان موقفهم That’s because it is obligatory to make du’a for the leader, not to expose him and expose his affairs. Do you not see that Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, and the Imams of Sunnah in his time, were tested with unjust leaders? What was their stance (towards them)? ما كان موقفهم الا الصبر وما كانوا يفضحون ولا يقولون فعل الخليفة كذا وكذا فعل الحاكم كذا وكذا هذا امر لا يجوز Their stance (towards them) wasn’t anything but patience, and they didn’t expose (the rulers) or say that the Caliph did such and such, the ruler did such and such, this is not permissible. فان قالوا هذه ورقة ضغط بواسطة وسائل التواصل نقول هذه ورقة ضغط محدثة فيها اتباع للأحزاب والجماعات المبتدعة If they say that this is a card used to put pressure (i.e., on the leaders) through social media, we say this card is innovated and it follows the sects and groups of Bid’ah (innovation within religion). فالله الله الحذر قد ابتلانا الله جل وعلا بالسراء وهو سبحانه قد يبتلينا بالضراء لنصبر او لا نصبر Verily, verily, be careful. Allah the Exalted has tested us with ease, and He the Exalted might test us with hardship to see whether we will be patient or not, لا سيما ان هذه المسألة من مسائل الاعتقاد ليست المسألة مسألة الجهر بآمين او عدمه specially that this affair is related to Aqeedah (creed). It is not about saying ameen loudly or not, او رفع اليدين او عدمه المسألة مسألة اعتقاد ندعوا لهم بالصلاح والمعافاة وننشر محاسنهم Or raising your hands or not (in prayer), this is about Aqeedah. We make du’a for them to be righteous and for their wellbeing, and spread their good qualities. ولا ننشر مساوئهم وننصحهم ولا نفضحهم And we don’t spread their flaws. We give them advice, and we don’t expose their faults. هذه عقيدتنا ووالله ما فتح طالب العلم كتابا من كتب العقيدة الا تيقن هذا This is our Aqedah (creed), by Allah, when a student of ilm (Islamic knowledge) opens any book of Aqeedah, he becomes certain of this. واحذر نفسي واياكم من الانجراف وراء العواطف فإنها كما قال الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه ا
