A necessary precaution

If a motif of the blessed sandal of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is found upon a flag, or said flag contains anything written upon it, then always keep in mind that such flags should not become damaged, nor should they come onto the floor. As soon as the blessed month finishes, they should be immediately removed. If you are not able to take necessary precautions and could occur, then one should utilize plain Madani flags. (Sag e Madina ‘عُفِی عَنْھ’ also has plain Madani flags affixed to his home)

Decorate your homes, Masajid and neighbourhood, with at least 12 string lights or 12 bulbs, and have these adornments up for 12 days. (Remember, stealing electricity is haraam, so one should contact official electricity providers and make arrangements in a permissible way).

Adorn and decorate the entire locality and neighbourhood with Madani flags, and a multitude of lights of various colours. Place 12 large Madani flags upon the roof of your homes and Masajid, and, whilst protecting passers-by from any difficulty, and without violating any public rights, put up 12 metre flags or any size necessary. Do not plant the base for Madani flags in the middle of a road because this negatively affects traffic. Do not decorate alleyways or any place in such a manner that causes the path to become restricted for people or violates their rights or hurts their feelings.
