Ruling on Participating in Cleanliness and Tree Weeks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on participating in the weeks that are held, such as Cleanliness Week and Tree Week, where I am asked to participate by giving a speech, hosting a ceremony, or doing something else? Is there anything wrong with that?
Answer:
I am not aware of any objection to this, given the general benefit it provides to Muslims. It is not of the same kind as the festivals; rather, it is cooperation on something that benefits Muslims. It is not far-fetched, nor is it something that Allah has forbidden. It is simply cooperation at specific times, or from time to time, for these benefits.
