1707. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Hearing and obeying is required from every Muslim man – in what he likes and what he dislikes – as long as he is not ordered with disobedience. If he is ordered with disobedience, then no hearing or obeying is required of him.” (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain, and Al-Ḥakam bin 'Amr Al-Ghifārī. This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٧٠٧ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ وَكَرِهَ،» مَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ، فَإِنْ أُمِرَ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلَا سَمْعَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا طَاعَةَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The real Lord, King and Ruler is only Allāh. And since the temporal Muslim ruler also draws his authority from Him Who has commissioned him to implement His commands, we are commanded to hear and obey his orders, regardless of whether we like them or not. However, in case the ruler orders something that flouts the Commandments of Allāh and His Messenger, then we are not allowed to obey him. The reason being that, by issuing such orders, he has made himself a rebel against the Supreme Authority. Therefore, we are not allowed to obey such an order issued by him.
