Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some Muslim countries, on the night of the festival, they carry machine guns and fire them into the air to celebrate the festival. Does this fall under the prohibition of doing so?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible, except if the intention is to announce the festival. There is no harm in firing a shot or using cannons to announce the festival; this is permissible, and it was practiced in this land. Yes.
