The Ruling on Demonstrations in Support of the Ruler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah be merciful to you. This questioner asks, saying: What is the ruling on demonstrations in support of the ruler, specifically to repel the malice of the people of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) who oppose the ruler?
Answer:
No, no, demonstrations are not permissible, whether for a festival or not. Demonstrations are a source of harm and lead to negative consequences. Islam is a religion of calm, tranquility, and steadfastness. Therefore, there are no demonstrations in Islam. Not even with the ruler; the ruler has not ordered this. Even if he did, one should advise him against it and explain that this is not in the interest of the Muslims, but rather a plot by the enemy.
The presenter:
I leave it to you,
