The Ruling on Staging Plays Under the Pretext of Calling to Allah and Guiding People

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A teacher in our school wants to organize a play. He says he wants to attract the school's students with that play and guide them, knowing that he cites verses and hadiths at the end of it. What is the ruling on his action and on participating with him in it?

Answer:
Plays are among the imported matters and are not among the deeds of Muslims, and they contain dangers, so do not stage plays. The da'wah (calling to Islam) is in no need of plays, acting, or anthems. The da'wah is in no need of this, and praise be to Allah. Call them as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called, with the Book and the Sunnah, with wisdom, good exhortation, and argument in the best manner, following the way of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Leave plays, acting, and anthems out of the methodologies of da'wah. Yes.
