15.4 向统治者进行问责是穆斯林的义务(Fard)
15.4 Accounting the rulers is Fard upon the Muslims
统治者的问责是穆斯林的一项责任。即便统治者有过失、克扣了民众的权利,服从他们依然是义务,这并不意味着穆斯林应当保持沉默;服从他们是义务,对他们的行为进行问责同样也是义务。

Muslim reported on the authority of Umm Salama that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said; “‘Ameers will be appointed over you, you recognise some of what they do and you disown some. Whoever recognised He is absolved from blame. Whoever disapproved (of their bad deeds) He is safe, but whoever consented and followed them (he is doomed.)’ They said; ‘Should we not fight against them?’ He (pbuh) replied; ‘No, as long as they prayed.’” In another narration by Muslim,
