The demonstration will be peaceful, aimed at conveying the voice of the Muslims to the Swedish government, to put pressure on them to stop the massacres of the children of the Palestinian people. What is the ruling on such demonstrations? We would like to inform you that these demonstrations will play a great role and be very effective in conveying the views of the Muslims to the politicians, to put pressure on the Zionist government to put a stop to the massacres of the children in Palestine. Please advise us, may Allaah reward you with good. <br /><br />Praise be to Allaah. <br /><br />There is nothing wrong with the Muslim community in Sweden protesting in order to reduce the pressure on the Muslims in Palestine and to draw the attention of the Swedish people and government to the crimes which the Jews are committing against the Muslims in Palestine, and using all effective and Islamically-acceptable means of doing so. <br />But demonstrations may involve a number of things which are forbidden in sharee’ah, so it is essential to guard against them. These include: <br /><br />women going out wearing adornment and make-up; using music in the demonstration; shouting slogans that are incorrect, such as “al-Quds (Jerusalem) is Arab and will remain Arab” (in fact, al-Quds is Islamic and is not for the Arabs only); stopping the demonstration in front of a kaafir’s tomb and placing bouquets of flowers on his grave; begging the kaafirs for help by using phrases that are humiliating to the Muslims; holding up pictures or effigies of people; doing wrong to others such as blocking the road or preventing people from passing by; using slanderous and insulting words that are not permitted in sharee’ah; men and women mixing during the demonstration; imitating the kuffaar in any of their unique characteristics such as clothing or symbols that the demonstrators may wear; committing acts of aggression against the property of innocent people, such as destroying their shops or breaking their windows, or starting fires in public facilities, and other haraam actions. And Allaah knows best. <br /><br />Islam Q&A <br />Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid<br /><br />Islam Q&A <br />Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid<br />Fatwa: 11469SalafiMujahidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916478319598826121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034853916137268932.post-80474960093769575962009-01-11T16:18:00.000-08:002009-01-11T16:18:00.000-08:00Gem - Wa alaykum assalam, Thanks for dropping by, ...Gem - Wa alaykum assalam, Thanks for dropping by, with regards to the protesting people are always going to differ on whether we are allowed to participate or not.<BR/>As this is something not done by our prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallaam, and his companions may Allaah have mercy upon them,ameen, then I would prefer to stay away from it, and be clear of doubt insha Allaaah. Besides I don't think it's the best environment for a muslim woman to be in, with the mixing, and the risk of trouble also.

I know what you mean, when things like this happen, you can feel so helpless, and don't want to seem as though your just sitting watching and doing nothing. It is nice though to see muslims and non-muslims come together and feel so passionate about a certain cause, and the want for peace.Naimahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835149968673235230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034853916137268932.post-85242763591423494572009-01-11T16:04:00.000-08:002009-01-11T16:04:00.000-08:00Assalamu 'alaykum sister, Thanks for the comment.T...Assalamu 'alaykum sister, Thanks for the comment.<BR/><BR/>The situation in Palestine right now is devestating, I find when I watch the news or read about what's going on I feel so emotional and frustrated that the palestinian people are being treated in this way. You want to help sooo bad, but there's only so much we can do. First should be to make du', and also to give aid.<BR/><BR/>Myself I prefer to stay away from protests etc.. my reasons being, that this is not something the prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam and his companions(may Allaah have mercy upon them)used to do, also scholars such as sh.ibn baz, sh al-albani etc..(may Allaah have mercy upon them) have spoken out about participating in them for good reasons. <BR/>Allaah knows best if these protests have any effect on situations like this, and in them there will be mixing of the sexes, and at times people get hurt.<BR/><BR/>Allaah knows best.Naimahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835149968673235230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034853916137268932.post-63062984459460437262009-01-11T06:54:00.000-08:002009-01-11T06:54:00.000-08:00i think sometimes ppl think they are helping with ...i think sometimes ppl think they are helping with demonstrations otherwise feel helpless.

I do believe that is one of the Prophet's sayings. To just not voice or do action is frowned upon I believe from what I read in the hadith.

All buses leave from its location and under its supervision. The Sheiks here encourage us to attend, and they also attend themselves and with their families.julaybibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844877739447151739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034853916137268932.post-38279148437965047502009-01-07T20:49:00.000-08:002009-01-07T20:49:00.000-08:00Sister, you've been tagged: http://thebarefootempr...Sister, you've been tagged: <BR/>http://thebarefootempress.blogspot.com/2009/01/10-random-things-about-me-oh-boy.htmlEmpress Anisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440918919478618627noreply@blogger.com
