Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Assalamualaikum. Here in South Africa, a certain Jamiat had engaged in an interfaith prayer with different faiths for the violence. Are such interfaith prayers and gatherings allowed?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are principles of Islamic jurisprudence that state:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Adhruraat Tubeehul Mahduraat<\/em> (necessities justify that which may be unlawful)1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Al-Umur bi-maqasidiha<\/em> (Matters shall be judged by their objectives)2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If we analyze the interfaith prayer In light of these principles of Islamic Jurisprudence we can conclude it is allowed for the following reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. There was an immediate necessity for all faith leaders to come together and make a joint statement to end the violence. Since this was a necessity, it is allowed based on the first principle.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Such an occasion is a means of Dawah. When this was one of the intentions for which the ulema attended, it is allowed based on the second principle.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
