Question:
Is it permissible to celebrate Rememberance Day (Canada), by wearing a poppy?
Answer:
Every action is judged according to intention. If one wants to promote opium poppy by wearing a poppy then it is not permissible. In my opinion it is better to stay away from this kind of plant to avoid controversy (fitnah).
