Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view of the one who says that demonstrations are part of jihad in the path of Allah?
Answer:
He is a liar. We hold that he is a wicked liar. They are not among acts of destruction, but rather they are the deeds of disbelievers. The Muslims did not know them, and there are no demonstrations in the history of Islam. These are only the actions of disbelievers, the customs of disbelievers. Yes.
