Question
There is an organization, The Palestine Solidarity Alliance, which organized protest meetings and marches to express solidarity with the Palestinian Muslims. The organization consists of members of all religions. Ulama also participated. Is it permissible to join in the protest meetings of this organization?
Answer
Every facet of the Muslim's life is regulated by the Shariah. Several haraam factors are the essential ingredients of these types of protest meetings. Total violation of Hijaab, photography, music, prancing, dancing and other acts of futility which are alien to and in conflict with Islam adorn this type of non-Muslim protest action. It suits non-Muslims, not Muslims. Our goals and paths are divergent. Molvis and sheikhs who participate in such haraam activities are in reality members of Jamiatul Juhala (Council of Ignoramuses). Our solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters is expressed in silent dua in seclusion.
