Haitham al-Haddad – Attending Demonstrations Might Be An Obligation

			Okay Bismillah Rama Rama hamdulillah salat wa salam ala Rasulillah to be honest with you, I stopped
answering this question long time ago because I believe that those brothers who say that attending
demonstrations is not allowed they are just copying some scholars who are talking about the rulings
of demonstrations from a particular perspective and the particular background and they are living in
in regimes in within regimes that within oppressive regimes that do not allow anyone to oppose the
		

			regime or to even enjoying the good and forbidding the evil and I believe that they just have a loud
noise and they just want Muslims to be passive people okay, let alone that they some of them they
have different agendas actually. So either they have different agendas Okay, or bad agendas, evil
agendas or they are too simple simplistic in their approach of understanding Islam.
		

			This is one thing however as we were asked this question, let me elaborate more on that now my dear
brothers and sisters you know
		

			the actions of a human beings are divided into two types
		

			actions where you worship Allah de la isla okay that a Baghdad okay. And these are certain listed a
that that were heavily regulated by Sharia. Okay. And there are other Ibaadat that are general and
that are not regulated heavily by Sharia. But Allah, Allah Allah gave us just outlines guidelines,
broad guidelines, okay. Now this type of a bad day at the school as you classify them as the bad and
the others, although they are a badass, but the scholars call them as more armella. Okay, such as
		

			buying selling, okay, such as organizing your country, such as political activism, all of these are
what are rebar that in the general term, and Sharia I gave very wide guidelines for them, such as
don't commit injustice. This is the main guideline and don't cause for set. Yeah, these are the two
main guidelines don't commit injustice and don't spread evil, corruption and don't don't cause
people to go away from Allah Delana Okay.
		

			Apart from this, okay, if any activity is free from injustice, from will and the free from spreading
evil, okay, it is allowed.
		

			All its colors agreed on this. Yeah, all its colors. Why? Because Allah Allah, Allah Allah when he
spoke about toa H he said, well in the Mahara Mara bellflower, HML Bahar Amina OMA bourbon well if
no WB Riley did have one to shoot you could be lucky madam Unison but his whole partner so he listed
what was excluded. Okay, which means that the general form Yeah, is the permissibility. Okay. And I
know he and others quoted the consensus of the scholars on this matter Yeah, that the original
		

			principle Okay, in matters that are not considered to be from the listed a Baghdad Salah see Zeca
had and some elements of vicar. Yeah. They call them the mandate. They are the original principle
that they are permissible except if there is a delay to say that they are not permissible. And the
main reasons for them to become impermissible is what injustice and the spreading evil. Okay, so,
the political activism, including going for marches
		

			is part of this. You don't ask, is it halal? Or haram? It is halal. If you have a proof that it is
haram. You show it to us. Okay, and as we said, the main reason for it to become Haram is if this
leads to injustice, or leads to facade, yeah, or evil things. If it doesn't lead to
		

			either of these things then it is what it is permissible. Okay. Number one, number two, what are the
demonstrations demonstrations is people are coming together they are asking for the changing the
mooncup
		

			Yeah, so, it is part of enjoying the good and forbidding the evil
		

			What is it people are coming together to what to say this is haram we want you or leader or the
government or whoever is in charge of it, you need to change it. So, in fact my dear brothers and
sisters, Mother Herat demonstrations, vigil, all these types of activities. Yeah political activism,
it can be seen as wajib
		

			Yeah, it can be seen I believe that it is Why do okay. It is what? Compulsory, obligatory, why?
Because this is a tool to enjoy the good and forbidding the evil. And it is one of the most
effective tools to enjoy the good and forbid the evil. Okay, other tools are not as effective as
those demonstrations and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Yeah, I mean common current
value of a year obiettivo let me start
		

			over because he oversees a monkey he should change it, okay by his hand, otherwise by his tongue,
otherwise by his heart, and my dear brothers and sisters, we are an ummah of activism. Any Muslim
please brothers and sisters, listen to this. The nature the very nature of this ummah is activism.
		

			Okay, this OMA is not a passive Oma. Yeah, Allah, Allah Allah says quantum Hydra or mutton or curry
deadliness da Moroni Rufio 10 Hona Anand mancha you are the best nation, race to mankind, taken and
given to mankind. Why not because of our
		

			limited understanding of Ayurveda, because of our activism, activism to do what to promote what is
good, and to what D promote, or maybe resist or enjoin, Forbid, what is evil? So I said, What I said
is that attending these marches can be part of our responsibility as Muslims. Yeah. Unfortunately,
those who do not understand the bigger picture of Islam, they will look at Islam in from a very
micro way. And that's why they cannot understand these things. That's why even myself, I started not
		

			to give them any attention. Yeah, because they can't understand their minds are so narrow. Yeah. And
they cannot understand the bigger picture and the nature of Islam. That is a nature of
		

			a charismatic, active religion. Okay. Now, tomorrow, yes, there will be a demonstration. And they
said, we hope that it will be the biggest demonstration. okay to ask for to demand for the fire to
sorry for the the
		

			to demand for a ceasefire. Yeah. And to demand for the aid to start going to Russia. Now it says,
are you telling me that this is not something that we should call for and how to call for
demonstration is one of the best ways to call for that? You can shout you can do whatever you can do
within the legal framework because we don't want to do something that will jeopardize the
demonstration.
