The Ruling on Holding Peaceful Demonstrations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to hold peaceful demonstrations if the country's system allows for it?
Answer:
Is this not part of the religion of Islam? Demonstrations are not part of the religion of Islam, because they are chaos and destruction. What is in the religion of Islam is understanding, advice, and contacting the rulers—contacting them, writing to them, or sending someone to convey the message to them. As for demonstrations, these are not of Islam, because they are chaos, because they are arrogance, and because they are imported from the disbelievers. Yes.
