Summary
The fatwa presents the first sermon of Abu Bakar R.A, the first caliph after the death of the Prophet SAW, and then sets out ten lessons as stated by Ibn Badis. These include that a ruler is chosen by the mandate of the people, that the people may advise and scrutinise the ruler, and that the ruler must also counsel and guide the people. Obedience to a leader depends on his own obedience to Allah SWT, and the law applies equally to leaders and the public.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Taatlah kepadaku selama mana aku taat kepada Allah SWT dan RasulNya. Tetapi apabila aku melakukan maksiat kepada Allah dan Rasulnya, maka tidak wajib kepada kamu semua untuk mentaatiku.
