This matter is Qati i.e. that ruling by non-Islam is definitively prohibitted - this is different to what happened during the Khilafah when some of the Khulafah committed fisq until the last period. The semantics are irrelevant, we must follow the meaning of terms and not get bogged down on the definitions. <BR/><BR/>Also just because a scholar makes a mistake doesn't render everything they say as wrong. If he says something good it should be accepted. <BR/><BR/>There are some scholars who were following an Islamic opinion even if it is considered weak that fighting against the Imam who commits grave sin (ma'siyah) is legitimate. However they should have realised that this was backed by the British and that they were used. May Allah (swt) forgive them for that. <BR/><BR/>One of the sheikhs I know personally asked questions openly in the circle of the Sheikh of Madina from the Aal ash-Sheikh family - he replied publically that they are waiting for the Khilafah to return on the path of the Prophethood. He said the other rulers who dispute with the Khalifah when he is established should be killed according to the hadith.<BR/><BR/>Just because Islamic activists or what you call Islamists differ with some scholars - doesnt mean completely discount the good that they speak about or constribute. For example people may differ with Sheikh Albani, however man recognise his contribution to hadith literature, people differ with Dr. Zakir Naik but accept his good work in some areas especially his IIS (International Islamic School), people differ with Dr. Israr Ahmad - but acknowledge his strong critique of the world order today and his calling for Khilafah. People may differ with Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki on methodology but acknowledge his contribution to da'wah and his condemnation of the rulers in the Muslim world today and his support for the return of the Khilafah.<BR/><BR/>Please don't generalise, it is not only the Salafi scholars who attack the current regimes for ruling by kufr. The great Sufi Maliki scholar Sheikh Uthman dan Fodio commenting on what started to appear in his time, he said:<BR/><BR/>'Secular laws are substituted for the Shari'a, pagan customs and behaviour replace Islamic morality; oppressive taxation, usurpation and the confiscation of property replace the Islamic system of taxation and fiscal policies, and Islamic inheritance laws are abandoned in favour of pagan whims.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500355.post-3009495032547064322007-09-18T09:06:00.000+00:002007-09-18T09:06:00.000+00:00It will also not be lost on the readers that the g...It will also not be lost on the readers that the gentleman being quoted was the official Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.<BR/><BR/>He not only lended <B>legitimacy</B> to the regime of the Saudi dynasty, but he also <B>fought the Ottomans</B> alongside King Abdul Aziz, in what he considered to be Jihad.<BR/><BR/>His quotations are little more than Wahhabi rhetoric, quoted here to give the impression of scholarly works. Any other fatwas or writings of jurispudence from the same person would quickly be dismissed by the Islamists as superficial and state-sponored.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
