Protest are haram

[@ziasmailbox]

@Hamid Hussein There are shuyookh who are ihkwani, deobandi, khariji, and hizbi in arab too... I m not talking about them. When I mean shuyookh i only mean the ones who are full of wisdom (and not all).. for example.. shaikh ibn baz has massive book of fatwa on protest (I have read the brief of it).. and Wallahi it underlines step by step mishaps that can happen while protest.. and from among them all of which i witnessed in the indian protest step by step happening one after other.. I was taken aback That ibn Baaz rahimahullah had such an insight about protests.

[@ziasmailbox]

@Hamid Hussein just as you said they pretend to be salafis.. .that is how they also pretend to be madkhali...(make a group).. but among the scholars whose names are taken for groupism there is no difference between them.for us salafis we are Wahab,i madhkhali, bukhari maliki, hanbali, albaniyan, fawzaani .. and all of the strands which comes from salafi scholars... and no scholar is protected from minor mistakes... and all of the scholars who have sanad to Rasulullah sallahualaihiwasallam and upon whom senior scholars have witnessed good are our scholars.. and hibiyaah is the thing against which salafi scholars have spoken a lot.. the SPUBS case is a fine example.. scholars don't approve of them

It his been narrated through a different chain of transmitters, on the authority of Hudhaifa b. al-Yaman who said: Messenger of Allah, no doubt, we had an evil time (i. e. the days of Jahiliyya or ignorance) and God brought us a good time (i. e. Islamic period) through which we are now living Will there be a bad time after this good time? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes. I said: Will there be a good time after this bad time? He said: Yes. I said: Will there be a bad time after good time? He said: Yes. I said: How? Whereupon he said: There will be leaders who will not be led by my guidance and who will not adopt my ways? There will be among them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of human beings. I said: What should I do. Messenger of Allah, if I (happen) to live in that time? He replied: You will listen to the Amir and carry out his orders; even if your back is flogged and your wealth is snatched, you should listen and obey. وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَسَّانَ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلاَّمٍ - حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلاَّمٍ، قَالَ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا بِشَرٍّ فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ فَهَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ هَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي أَئِمَّةٌ لاَ يَهْتَدُونَ بِهُدَاىَ وَلاَ يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي وَسَيَقُومُ فِيهِمْ رِجَالٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِي جُثْمَانِ إِنْسٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِلأَمِيرِ وَإِنْ ضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ وَأُخِذَ مَالُكَ فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Brother Yasir qadhi...I'm a Sunni..Ahlisunna waljamaa...but u mentioned an example of protest in the bettle of Jamal.....a very wrong and in wise example....what was the out come of battle of Jamal?this is exactly what sheikh Asim was trying to tell us...... protest ends up in cheos like the exampla u gave of battle of Jamal....just because sheikh Asim is a wahbi or salafi....we don't have always to argue and be different...this is y we Muslims are split.....I would rather advice u all our sheikhs..when u have a difference of opinion....contact each other n sort issues out instead of coming out publicly and criticize each other and create more rifts among Muslims...sheikh Asim gave many example and hadiths in his speech....u did non of that.. when will u our sheikhs realise we need unity? subhanallah...may Allah guide u all.........another example is battle of siffin....the outcome was hurendous.... horrific.....as we all know....the issue of karbalaa,..the same out come...so by facts and evidences.... protests have always had a negative impact n so being it called Haram...I think it's just openly very right......and our current evidence of Syria...Yemen.. libya.etc...proves even more that protest are unlowful and has bad outcome.......in the event of hudaibiya...Allah prohibited the army of mighty Muslims to enter Makkah..just because their were a few hidden Muslims in Makkah that would be harmed...another proof that killing of inocent is Haram even when u are at right and in power....may Allah guide us all and unite us bi idhnillah

Not all protests end in chaos and war. What about the peaceful protests?

[@anasahmad6749]

I agree that protests may end up in chaos. But HARAAM. Sir that is a big word.-And obviously the companions were far more conscious of this than us. And obviously you get what I am trying to say. Is it right to see injustice being done to you and your people? Does Islam allow us to think only about ourselves only and Not the Ummah, the oppressed. I think you got it wrong somewhere. Chaos is Not haraam man... Please correct if I am wrong

[@SimbaLSG]

I feel like he wants to say things but is fearful of saying them because of the consequences. Say it as it is MBS and Saudia! We all know but we’re all playing ignorant and living in the clouds. This ummah is one body and this body today is weak and ill. Not saying what needs to be said and being silent is wrong. When your silent against the oppressors it is unjustifiable to the oppressed.

Your husband is just one of those who take sects..so as soon as he knows the speech is from another sect..then it's just wrong...we Muslims look on evidence not who is the speaker...apart from shias of course......I'm a Sunni..but I agree with sheikh Asim from evidence he gave and what we see currently in our own current world...

I respect YQ's Opinion. But problem is if we start to take fatwas on the basis of different regions, then the fitna will increase most likely. Another thing is, he said, no explicit mention about the prohibition of protest in holy Quran but didn’t talk about any sahih hadiths. That's really surprising.

[@aimz4178]

It's not the same as other fiqh issues that are clear cut in quran and sunnah, for example salah or alcohol. So that's why you will not get a different view about those things because they are fixed. No ulema can change that based on any reasons. But those things that arent clear cut mentioned, like protests, will be treated case by case, as YQ said, on the knowledge of the Ulema, depending on the situation, time and region. Its that simple.

[@RAMESHKOTIKALAPUDI]

@@aimz4178 It may look very clear cut to you. But you’ll be surprised. You can hear differences of opinion on issues as high and supposedly clear as interest (riba). Not that long ago there seems to have been unanimous consensus in ulema on anything to do with riba is haram. You hear sheiks in non-muslim countries nowadays, you can clearly see this issue is treated as “local” by them.
