Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: Recently, it has become common to place green lights on the minarets of mosques. Is there any harm in doing so? And why is this specific color chosen?
Answer:
I am not aware of anything regarding this. I am not aware of anything regarding this. Cutting off the light bulbs or the light for the Muslims, and providing illumination for the Muslims, if there is a benefit in it, I am not aware of any harm in placing it on the wall, or on the minaret, or in any place, if the intention is to benefit Muslims on the roads, there is no harm. As for it being green, or yellow, or red, I am not aware of any objection to it, unless the owner holds a belief that is made clear to him. If he holds a belief that is made clear, what is the belief? Otherwise, no, whether the color is green, yellow, or red, the important thing is the illumination for the people, and that it illuminates for the people in the dark roads.
