Any attempt to overthrow a just govt is haram, says Islamic scholar

Kelantan religious scholar Syeikh Wazir Che Awang Al-Makki has stated that any attempt to overthrow a just government is forbidden, or haram, in Islam. He compared such actions to those of the Khawarij, a group that opposed the rule of Saidina Uthman and fought against Saidina Ali. The scholar made these remarks at a Sebarkan Salam@Kota Bharu Berselawat programme in Pasir Mas, where he also highlighted that those who seek to overthrow a just government are acting like the Khawarij.

Another religious scholar, Abdul Rahman Omar, echoed similar sentiments, stating that attempts to undermine the country's leadership reflected ingratitude for the stability enjoyed by the nation and prayed for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to continue leading the country.
