The Ruling on Tribal Camps During Festivals and Holidays
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Recently, camps have appeared for the gathering of certain tribes during the festivals, and sometimes during the holidays. This is the camp of such-and-such a tribe, and that is the camp of such-and-such a tribe. Sometimes the gathering takes place in wedding palaces or in farms. Does this fall under the tribal loyalties that Islam has forbidden, considering that it may develop in the future into conflicts, tribal loyalties, and boasting among the tribes? Please inform us, may Allah guide you.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
And after that: Many tribes have begun to gather during the festivals or the holidays from all over the Kingdom. In terms of its origin, this involves maintaining family ties, because relatives gather with one another, discuss their conditions, and perhaps this leads to helping the needy and relieving the distress of the distressed. However, the matter may be dangerous if this develops into tribal fanaticism and forgetting the other believers. As long as we have not seen this danger, we do not forbid it, and we see that there is good and blessing in it. But if in the future it develops into words and poems that praise this tribe and criticize others by pointing out their defects and faults, then the prohibition will apply.
