Buying Fireworks to Train Sons on Weapons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a father buys fireworks for his sons on the condition that they do not use them except in the desert, and his purpose is to teach them what resembles modern weapons, is this permissible, given that the harm is circumstantial here?
Answer:
Teaching weapons is not by stabbing; it involves entering military councils. Stabbing is of no benefit and involves no teaching. And their going out to the desert is fundamentally more dangerous than staying in the town, because they may cause corruption or be exposed to corruption, or be exposed to open sinners. In any case, this is not permissible. Spending this money when one is able to do so is not permissible. This
