Best of you

12. "The best of your garments are those which are white; shroud your dead in them and clothe your living with them. The best of that which you apply to your eyelids is antimony causing the eyelashes to grow and sharpening the eyesight." [Ibn Hibbân, Sahîh]

Advising the ruler by way of a telegram.

 


Question:

Is advising the ruler with that which is better, by way of a telegram, from sincerity towards him, or is it the precursor of rebellion?
Answer:

This is something good - to send sincere advice to the ruler by way of a telegram or to entrust someone who can convey that to him, then this is good! However that which is prohibited is speaking about the rulers in gatherings, upon the pulpits and on cassettes. This is what is prohibited and it is the manhaj of the Khawaarij. As for writing a telegram or a letter to him, and then submitting it to him in his hand or giving it to someone trustworthy who can give to him in his hand, then this is good!
