Raising the Hands in Supplication Beneath the Image of the Riyadh Tower
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The one arriving from the airport, specifically at the exit of the circular area, sees an image of the Riyadh Tower, and beneath it are people who have raised their hands in supplication, with the tower appearing very large. They are beneath the tower saying, "Water, water," and they have raised their hands. What is your opinion on this matter? Does it not give the impression that they are raising their hands to the tower rather than to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
To whom does the work belong? It is obligatory for the brother or the brothers who saw this to speak to the responsible parties about it, or to write to the Ifta' department about it. May Allah reward them with good, if Allah wills. Yes.
