Criticizing rulers and leaders Publicly or Privately? | Shaykh Muhammad Al-Hassan Ad-Didu

In this detailed and evidence-rich discussion, scholars explore a critical question: should rulers be advised and corrected privately, or can public objection be justified in Islam? Drawing from prophetic hadiths, the lives of the Companions, and historical incidents, the talk outlines when public condemnation is necessary and when private counsel is preferred. Key issues such as normalization with oppressive regimes, the difference between political and religious matters, and examples from the early Muslim generations are all addressed.
