The Ruling on Summer Camps
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is Your Eminence’s opinion regarding those who say that you warn against the centers and summer camps established by the state?
Answer:
We warn against disagreement, we warn against the methodology of the Khawarij, and we warn against the gossip among the young Muslims. This is what we warn against. However, if the camps or others are based on the correct religion, upon the truth, and upon educating the youth, enlightening them, and guiding them in the sound direction, then we support them and call for them. This is the state of the camps, praise be to Allah, in this land, as far as we know. If there is something hidden or secretly infiltrated among them, then Allah is the One who deals with its people. As for us, we have no concern except with what is apparent. Yes.
