Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some scholars say that demonstrations are permissible outside the Kingdom but prohibited inside it, on the grounds that the matter of demonstrations is left to the authority. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
We ask this student of knowledge, whom you mention: What have demonstrations produced outside the Kingdom? Have they produced anything but destruction, devastation, and the shedding of blood? Are demonstrations, whether in the Kingdom or outside it, anything but evil? We have not seen them produce anything but evil, devastation, destruction, and the shedding of blood. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
