BENEFIT: Selling weapons to hostile forces?

Is spreading the above image speaking against the rulers? There are two main aspects to consider regarding this issue: 1. The factual nature of the incident and the Islamic ruling concerning it: If it is confirmed that weapons were sold to hostile forces during a time in which they are actively engaged in combat against Muslims, then without doubt, this is impermissible in Islamic law. Imam al-Nawawī (raḥimahullāh) stated regarding this: “As for selling weapons to the people of war, it is forbidden by consensus (ijmāʿ).” Al-Majmūʿ (9/335). The impermissibility lies in selling weapons to disbelievers in situations where it is likely or certain they will be used against Muslims. Al-Ḥāfiḍh Ibn Ḥajar (raḥimahullāh) commented on the chapter regarding the sale of weapons during times of tribulation from Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Ibn Ḥajar further stated: “It is also possible that the intent behind narrating the hadith [of Abū Qatādah selling his armor] is to show the permissibility of selling weapons during times of war to those from whom no harm is feared. For Abū Qatādah sold his armor during the time when fighting between Muslims and polytheists was ongoing, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم approved of that. It is assumed he did not sell it to anyone who would support fighting against Muslims. Thus, it is permissible to sell weapons during wartime to those who are not feared to harm Muslims.”Fatḥ al-Bārī (4/378–379) 2. Whether this constitutes speaking against the ruler: Rushing to make accusations or issue condemnations without verifying the surrounding contextual indicators, is irresponsible. It is possible that such sales, if they occurred, were carried out long before the current conflict in Gaza began. Even if the act were impermissible, publicizing it in a way that provokes resentment toward the Turkish ruler, potentially inciting rebellion or instability, is not allowed. The same ruling applies whether the leader is from Saudi Arabia or any other Muslim country. There is no distinction in this regard. These matters must be addressed with wisdom, fairness, and in adherence to the principles of the Sharīʿah in light of the way of the Salaf.
