Behind closed doors, scholars and political leaders conspired against a failing king, driven by the belief that the king’s mismanagement was leading the nation to ruin.

In 1964, khuruj (خروج) unfolded in Saudi Arabia when the Salafi scholars and key figures made a move against King Saud. This wasn’t a quiet transition or a minor political shift; this was a moment when they saw the country on the brink of collapse—empty treasuries, unrest, and a king who seemed incapable of leading the nation. They decided it was time for action.

So, they took matters into their own hands. They deposed King Saud and replaced him with King Faisal, hoping to steer Saudi Arabia back to stability. It was a bold move, one that challenged the very idea of loyalty to the ruler, and makes us reconsider the concept of obedience and rebellion.

where I dive deeper into the Ijma’ (consensus) of Imam al-Nawawi and the issue of khuruj in Islam. Stay tuned for that one—it’s going to get into the heart of the discussion about when and why such actions are taken, and what scholars like Imam al-Nawawi had to say about it.
