Is a legal guardian or must we rebel against him?

I have been asked many times: (Is such and such a ruler a legitimate Muslim ruler or is it permissible to rebel against him?) And whenever we talk about the crimes of rulers in Muslim countries, someone says to us: (You, the callers to rebel against rulers, have brought us nothing but destruction and bloodshed)! These people divide the issue into two: either you say that such and such is a legitimate ruler who must be obeyed, or you say that Muslims must rush to rebel against him. But who said the division is binary? Legitimacy comes from the ruler being a Muslim who rules people by the Sharia of Allah, and that Muslims have chosen him with their consent and consultation. If he seizes power by force, he gains legitimacy after the people accept him as their imam and he rules them by the Sharia. This is not the case with Muslim rulers, as is clear to those who see. Using the terms "imam" and "legal guardian" and "ruler by force" to give them legitimacy is sheer stupidity or ignorance! Rather, they are enemies of the nation and its Sharia, swords hanging over its necks, and executioners at its prison gates. They do not act without the orders of their masters in the West and the East. Does this put us before the other option: the obligation to "rebel" against them, regardless of whether the conditions for their removal and the establishment of an Islamic system are met or not? As for the term "rebellion," it has been associated in people's minds with rebelling against a legitimate ruler. This is not the case we are discussing. So, is it permissible to revolt against them and fight them with our hands, in accordance with the first rank of the Prophet's hadith: (Whoever fights them with his hand is a believer, whoever fights them with his tongue is a believer, whoever fights them with his heart is a believer, and there is no faith after that even the weight of a mustard seed)? This is what we answered in detail in an important episode titled: (A stance on rebellion against injustice in the Islamic world), which stated: (...The comparison here is not between establishing an Islamic rule while bearing these harms or not establishing it to avoid these harms. Rather, the comparison here is between the continuation of the oppressors while working to achieve the reasons for their removal, and their continuation but with the loss of the reasons for their removal due to an immature revolution, which may strengthen them and prolong their rule, in addition to the mentioned harms to people's blood, wealth, and honor without any benefit of empowering Islam to enjoy its justice and mercy. The issue here is not the prohibition of rebelling against the oppressive rulers who rule by their earthly laws, as it is a rebellion against the rulers who must be obeyed, as the evil scholars say! But because the immature revolution empowers them, and even if they fall and the reformers have no project, someone worse than the fallen may come to reap the fruits of the reformers' efforts and the sacrifices of the people and their pains. This does not mean appeasing the oppressors or remaining silent about them. Rather, it means exposing their true nature to the people and teaching people the doctrine of disassociation from them as long as they deviate from the religion of Allah, and teaching the people that the conflict with them is not over bread or providing jobs, for which the people may accept if they provide it. Rather, the conflict with them is for Allah, in the most critical issues of servitude to Allah, such as legislating and enforcing laws on people's souls that Allah did not approve for His servants, misleading people, and corrupting their morals. And hunger and lack of security are but some of the ominous fruits of that. That is, the reformers - even if they cannot carry out a revolution - must maintain the revolutionary state in people's hearts, live with them their pains, demand their rights, and strive to remove the oppression of the tyrants from them. And they must be patient in all of that with the consequences of this call, such as tightening, imprisonment, fabricating charges, dismissal from work, and threatening their livelihood. The scholars and callers must not remain silent about clarifying that or add legitimacy to the oppressors under the pretext of the interest of the call...((And when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture: "Make it clear to the people and do not conceal it")). We strongly advise watching the full episode for its special importance: http://www.al-furqan.org/more-978-1-%D9%85%D9%88%D9%82%D9%81%20%D9%85%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9%20%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B8%D9%84%D9%85%20%D9%81%D9%89%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A5%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A
