May Allah do good to you; the fatwa seeker asks: What is the ruling of those who slander whosoever commands (people) to listen to and obey the ruler in that which is not disobedience to Allah as a “Jami”?

What?! Jami?! How lovely is this Jami! He who commands to listening to and obeying the ruler and complying with the saying of the Messenger ﷺ. How lovely is this Jami! Yes. This is what the Messenger ﷺ said not the “Jami.” The Messenger ﷺ said it and commanded it. Allah commanded it before the Messenger ﷺ “O believers obey Allâh and obey the Messenger (Muhammad, peace be upon him), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority.” It is not the Jami, Allah commanded it. The Prophet ﷺ said “I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and obey even if a slave is appointed as your leader.” It is the Messenger ﷺ who commanded it; Allah and the Messenger not the “Jami” who commanded it. Yes. This is similar to those who say: whosoever commands to Tawhid (monotheism) and forbids Shirk (polytheism) is a “Wahhabi.” Don’t listen to him, this is a fifth doctrine, this is a “Wahabi.” How lovely is this Wahabi who commands to Tawhid (monotheism) and forbids Shirk (polytheism)! call him whatever you want.
