Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: We are in areas controlled by the enemy, so we are forced to affix their emblems to our vehicles so that they do not target us, and we use this as a ruse. Is this ruse permissible for us?
Answer:
This was a system in the country where you affixed [emblems] to your vehicles so that they would be allowed to drive and carry loads, so I see no objection to that.
