‘Abd al-‘Azīz Ar-Rājihī on Political Demonstrations

Original Title: الفتاوى الشرعية في القضايا العصرية

‘Abd al-‘Azīz Ar-Rājihī[1] on Political Demonstrations[2]

Question: What is your opinion of those who say political demonstrations are allowable in order to pressure the leaders or governments?

Answer: These demonstrations are not from the actions of Muslims. They are foreign (to Islam) and were never known except by way of the western countries of disbelief.[3]
