Countries cutting off their relationship with the Abbasid Khilaafat
Question
Please advise:
1. Why had Al-Andalus, and later, Al-Maghrib, cut off their relationship with the Abbasid Khilaafat of Baghdad in order to become independent states?
2. Was their above action correct according to the Sharia?
Answer
We are not aware of this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
