I don't understand exactly what Haqiqatjou expects scholars to do. Look at this twitter page.
Any voice whether they are a layman or a prominent scholar like al-Ouda will get arrested and sentenced to many years if they go against MBS regime. Even in other Muslim countries you will find similar occurrences. They might just condemn the sin itself and still their life is in danger. It is better for them to remain silent instead of criticizing their governments. Does he want the people to rebel against their leaders? That is also haram if the leader is Muslim. At the end of the day tyranny is better than anarchy. Not every sheikh is willing to go to prison to preach what is right. But some brave ones still do and they will be honoured by Allah for enjoining what is good.
Honestly I think Salman al-Awdah deserved what he got.
This video above talks about Salman al-Awdah. It isn't that he was some hero scholar and he got arrested for no reason. Imo he deserved what he got and anyways the guy is super, super deviant. If he was really this hero scholar that propaganda wants us to think he is, I'd probably be watching and posting his videos. But in reality the man was a deviant. I don't remember all the details off the top of my head but this video talks about. Sheikh Uthaymeen was warning about him way back in the 90's.
as for the second case mentioned, where supposedly the person got arrested for criticizing concerts.... I looked into it before and to my understanding there is zero actual proof that this person was arrested for talking against concerts. he was arrested but when I checked last time.... I don't think it was known why exactly he was arrested. but there was no actual proof that it was because of speaking against concerts.
but for example one of these arrested supposed scholars we're supposed to feel sorry for is Al-Hawali.... they'll show a picture of him and talk about him being this hero scholar who was arrested supposedly for standing up for Islam.... but they won't show how he in fact was promoting suicide bombing....
a number of these people who were arrested were people who promoted suicide bombing.... I think Salman al-Awdah is among them....
anyways, a lot of these people were ikhwanis, you had various deviant types..... I don't know the details of every single case but a lot of these people who got arrested were not anywhere near as innocent as propaganda would have us believe
I don't talk about the governments of Somalia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey or any other Muslim country except Syria because Assad is a kaffir..... the reason Salafis aren't talking against the governments of Muslim countries isn't because of being afraid..... there are plenty of Salafis outside of Saudi Arabia and I don't think Salafis there aren't able to leave... it has to do with the general approach to dealing with governments...
