What is the ruling on participating in demonstrations that include musical instruments or songs with music, or un-Islamic chants, and is it obligatory to avoid places where these reprehensible acts occur within the demonstration, and what is the ruling on watching the demonstration from home if it involves music?

The ruling on the permissibility of demonstrations depends on weighing the benefits against the harms. The decision rests with the people of knowledge and experience in each country. If the benefit of participating in a demonstration outweighs the harm of the religious transgressions present therein, then participation is permissible, along with denouncing the wrong as much as possible. However, merely observing the demonstration and listening to objectionable acts offers no benefit. A Muslim should safeguard their hearing and sight and remain at home.
