Question

Is it permissible to stand for the national anthem and salute?

Answer

This is totally wrong. You are not supposed to be in a gathering where these types of things are going to take place.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
