Summary
A peaceful demonstration is permissible as long as it follows several guidelines. These include not endangering lives, not damaging public property, not disturbing the public, obeying the authorities, avoiding uncontrolled mixing of men and women, and dispersing peacefully. If the guidelines are not observed, the ruling changes to not permissible. The demonstration is treated as a means whose ruling depends on its aim, and in the Palestine issue it counts as helping oppressed fellow Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berkaitan isu ini, kami melihat demonstrasi aman adalah dibenarkan selagimana ia tertakluk kepada beberapa dhawabit (garis panduan) dan jika demonstrasi itu diadakan tanpa mematuhi dhawabit ini maka hukumnya berubah daripada dibenarkan kepada tidak dibenarkan.
