Be Warned Do Not Attend These Protests!!!

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO A MASSIVE MARCH IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE THIS FRIDAY 25th at 2PM in PORT OF SPAIN!!!!!

The Committee of Major Scholars issued a fatwa regarding the unlawfulness of demonstrations (and Protests) due to them being causes of corruption, there are those who would say that demonstrations are of two types: A type in which there is no looting and no mixing between sexes and  merely to demand the rights of the people and that is permissible but when they comprise corruption, damage and looting then they are haraam (unlawful). So what did Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan say regarding this?

Here is what he had to say:

"Ask them, is there are any basis for demonstrations (and Protests)? Is there a basis for them amongst Muslims, whether in the past or in recent (times)? Demonstrations (and Protests) were not known except from the West, from the West. They are not from Islam at all. Islam encourages disciplinary (order), it encourages with peace (serenity) it encourages absence of chaos. Rights are not attained through chaos and screams. They are attained through legislated ways and through ways other than the way of demonstrations(and Protests) . No one is prevented from raising a complaint, no one is prevented from seeking a right of his, no one is prevented from that. As for demonstrations then they are not from the deen of Islaam! And I say and I will repeat it again [with raised voice] they are not from the deen of Islaam! And nor from the manners of the Muslims! Rather, they have come to us through Western schemings in order to tear apart the (united) jamaa'ah and to split the people and bring about enmity."

Be warned do not attend these protests!!!
