The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the ruler permits peaceful demonstrations to be held…
The Shaykh:
Is that so?
The questioner:
…the ruler permits peaceful demonstrations to be held.
The Shaykh:
No, demonstrations are not permissible in Islam. These are not permissible; they are among the practices of non-Muslims. How can demonstrations be permissible in Islam, along with chaos? This is not permissible; it is not part of the guidance of Islam.
