Allah says:

"And we sent to every nation a Messenger saying worship Allah and avoid Taghut"

And this is the call of every Prophet and Messenger.......

And the scholars are the interiors of the Prophets.......

So follow the scholars who call to what the Prophets and Messengers called to....

And avoid those scholars who defend the Taghut.....

And those who excuse the Taghut.....

And those who ally with the Taghut.....

And those who remain silent about the Taghut......

..... be that from fear or some perceived benefit.
