2. **Consider Intentions (Niyyah)**: Reflect on their intentions and whether participation would serve a just cause for the sake of Allah.
3. **Evaluate Potential Harm or Benefit**: Weigh the potential benefits against any harm to oneself or the community.
4. **Seek Guidance**: Consult knowledgeable scholars for advice on the matter.
5. **Maintain Integrity**: Ensure involvement does not compromise personal integrity or Islamic identity.
