Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people in this age have argued using the saying of Allah the Exalted,[At-Tahrim 66:4], citing this verse to prove the permissibility of public demonstrations. Is their argument correct?
Answer:
There is no power and no strength except in Allah. The permissibility of public demonstrations means that Aisha, specifically, demonstrated in front of people and gathered crowds of people to demonstrate. This is playing with the Book of Allah the Mighty and Majestic. But as for the one who has nothing, you are like the lowest thing. What is the lowest thing? This is proof of their incapacity. Yes.
