The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: Is it permissible to stand to show respect to any national anthem or flag?
They replied:
It is not permissible for the Muslim to stand out of respect for any national anthem or flag, rather this is a reprehensible innovation which was not known at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or at the time of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs (may Allaah be pleased with them), and it is contrary to perfect Tawheed and sincere veneration of Allaah alone.
It is also a means that leads to shirk and is an imitation of the kuffaar in their reprehensible customs, and following them in their exaggeration about their presidents and in their ceremonies. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade imitating them.
And Allaah is the Source of strength; may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (1/235).
And Allaah knows best.
And the scholars knows best on how to get a Muslim beat up! This is crap with no verification from the Quran. The intention of this fatwa is singular; it is to cause problems with Muslims and Non Muslims.
Quran 2:85; Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you…
But there are many Muslims who want to make things difficult for everyone and al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah and the other ‘standing scholars are at the root of the problem. This is a western website giving this terrible advice to Muslims seeking answers.
And btw al-idiot, after Muhammad died, his companions killed off his family, so quit acting like they were great men…most of them were killed off by their own.
As the Islamic Scholar for the Infidel, I have sent a written complaint to this low life scholar of shirk to demand a retraction of this fatwa on the grounds that it is wrong and offensive and it’s only purpose is to piss off Non Muslims. Feel free to do the same.

We might not be able to fight along side our soldiers but we can fight Islamists here in our countries and we can let them know...the pen is mightier than the sword.
Thomas Jefferson in 1796 sent a letter to Thomas Paine in which he wrote: "Go on doing with your pen what in other times was done with the sword."
If you object to this Freaky Fkd-up Fatwa---fight with your pen..or keyboard.
