من هو الحاكم العادل؟ ? Ibn al-Uthaymeen - Who is the Just Ruler

I||||-READ DESCRIPTION-|||II:

Sh. Saalih Ibn 'Uthaymeen: "Ruling according to anything other than that which is in the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger reaches the level of kufr when two conditions are met:

1. When he knows the ruling of Allaah and His Messenger; if he is unaware of it, then he does not commit kufr by going against it.

2. When what makes him rule by something other than that which Allaah has revealed is the belief that it is a ruling that is not suitable for our time and that something else is more suitable than it and more beneficial for people.

If these two conditions are met, then ruling by something other than that which Allaah has revealed constitutes kufr which puts a person beyond the pale of Islam, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And whosoever does not judge by what Allaah has revealed, such are the Kaafiroon (i.e. disbelievers)" [al-Maa'idah 5:44]. The authority of the ruler becomes invalid and he has no right to be obeyed by the people; it becomes obligatory to fight him and remove him from power.

But if he rules by something other than that which Allaah has revealed whilst believing that ruling by that -- i.e. that which Allaah has revealed -- is what is obligatory, and that it is more suitable for the people, but he goes against it because of some whims and desires on his part or because he wants to wrong the people under his rule, then he is not a kaafir; rather he is a faasiq (evildoer) or a zaalim (wrongdoer). His authority remains, and obeying him in matters that do not involve disobedience to Allaah and His Messenger is obligatory, and it is not permissible to fight him or remove him from power by force or to rebel against him, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) forbade rebelling against rulers unless we see blatant kufr for which we have proof from Allaah. End quote.

Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen (2/118)

Is it permissible to rebel against the ruler?

Sheikh Abd al-'Azeez ibn 'Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz: "The basic comprehensive principle of sharee'ah is that it is not permitted to remove an evil by means of a greater evil; evil must be warded off by that which will remove it or reduce it. Warding off evil by means of a greater evil is not permitted according to the scholarly consensus (ijmaa') of the Muslims. If this group which wants to get rid of this ruler who is openly committing kufr is able to do so, and can bring in a good and righteous leader without that leading to greater trouble for the Muslims or a greater evil than the evil of this ruler, then that is OK. But if rebellion would result in greater trouble and lead to chaos, oppression and the assassination of people who do not deserve to be assassinated, and other forms of major evil, then that is not permitted. Rather it is essential to be patient and to hear and obey in matters of good, and to offer sincere advice to the authorities, and to pray that they may be guided to good, and to strive to reduce evil and increase good. This is the correct way which should be followed, because that is in the general interests of the Muslims, and because it will reduce evil and increase good, and because this will keep the peace and protect the Muslims from a greater evil."

Subhanallah indeed!! May Allah make the next leader of the Muslim lands be a true follower of Islam. Allahu Akbar x 3

[mj4sh]

superb video and excellent timing! Jazakallah!

[StaubigFisebilillah]

@StaubigFisebilillah and the most people does not understand his tafseel, they believe he had the same tafseel like Albani r. and Bin Baz r., but thats not true. The proof is that Shaykh uthaymeen critizise Albani r. in one of his statements

[StaubigFisebilillah]

You have to read all his statements. he says that a person can not rule with man made laws, exept he believes that it is permissible, or the man made laws are better than the laws of allah.

It is true that uthaymeen r. believe that the person must believe that to rule by man made laws is halal, but he says the same time, that it is not possible, that a person rule with this laws and he does not believe in theri permissability.

[abdullahalmahmood]

the shaykh may A l l a a h give him rest in the grave explained in another video, the one who is a kaafir is the one who believes that there is something which is better or equal to what A l l a a h has revealed, thus this is the motive behind him ruling with other than the sharia.

[54FEER]

So if I understand this ruler can rape Muslim women but that's fine because they believe it's forbidden by Allah, also their are just following their whims and desire. They equal them self with Allah (may Allah forgive me for this analogy I never mean that) but is not a problem why? Didn't a sahaba may Allah be please him rebel against umar may allah be please with him saying we are not going to hear and obey why? Just because you have taken 2 clothes and gave 1 to every one but it was he's son

[TheMuslimahSouljette]

May Allah guide our leaders aright. 'Ameen!

This is just soo confusing && the fitna is piling up!!

[2gohan002]

i like this aa-sheikh

[easyonetwothree]

May Allâh reward you for forwarding the entire fatwâ of the shaykh in the descripton, mashaAllâh, this video alone might confuse people and make them make takfeer on rulers generally while the shaykh gave conditions and not only conditions, but if these conditions are met, the ruler still has to get Iqâmatul Hujjâh from an 'alim, and then takfeer, same with a rafidhi, sufi, grave worshiper etc, they first have to get Iqamatul hujjah from an 'alim, and then takfeer. Jazakum Allahu khayra ya ikhwa

[work4jannah]

AllahuAkbar! golden words. Right Video at Right Time.

[muslim10]

This man doubted the power of Allaah and doubted that He would restore him if his remains were scattered; rather he believed that he would not be resurrected, which is kufr according to the consensus of the Muslims. But he was ignorant and did not know about that; however, he was a believer who feared that Allaah would punish him, so He forgave him because of that.
