Demonstrations and sit-ins are not among the practices of Muslims

Question:
Regarding what some people do in the form of sit-ins at the Royal Court and government offices, what is the ruling in Islamic law, O Shaykh? And are these an effective means?

Answer:
Answer: A decision has been issued by the Council of Senior Scholars stating that demonstrations and sit-ins are not permissible, they are not among the practices of Muslims, they involve harm, they constitute disobedience to the ruler, and they cause disturbance; therefore, they are not permissible. One who has a right should claim it through the lawful channels, not by the system of the West. The demonstrations of the West are not prescribed in Islam; rather, they are something from which Islam warns, because they cause disturbance and constitute disobedience to the ruler, and they may be accompanied by destruction and harm to people and to the demonstrators themselves. Yes.
