The Ruling on Demonstrations and Their Attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I read once on the internet, and its author stated that demonstrations are among the prescribed practices (sunnan), and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions had previously engaged in such demonstrations, and that those who do not see the harms of demonstrations are only presenting to undermine their interests and their countries. Is this a serious statement?

Answer:
This is a statement about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this state of affairs regarding these actions that have become prevalent. What will these demonstrations end up being? They are neither right nor wrong, but rather chaos; there is no truth in them and no justice in them. As for attributing them to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that is one thing. As for his saying that they prevent them out of fear for those who fear, we have sufficient in Allah, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.
