Should We Swear Allegiance to King Charles III?

By Dr. Salman Butt 17 Shw 44 ◦︎ 7 May 23

Should Muslims swear allegiance to the King? With the coronation of King Charles this weekend, many Muslims have been asking – and debating – about the permissibility of taking part in ceremonies and oaths of allegiance to the King and Head of the Church of England.

Shaykh Haitham writes about how British Muslims should view this national event whilst staying confident and proud of Islam, comfortable in their Britishness and keeping with a vision for the  wider Ummah and humanity at large. Read the detailed article here.
