We have studied J/psi production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV at the LHC through its muon pair decay. The polar and azimuthal angle distributions of the decay muons were measured, and results on the J/$\psi$ polarization parameters $\lambda_{\theta}$ and $\lambda_\phi$ were obtained. The study was performed in the kinematic region 2.5<y<4, 2<$p_{\rm T}$<8 GeV/$c$, in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames. In both frames, the polarization parameters are compatible with zero, within uncertainties.
$\lambda_\theta$ as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ for inclusive J/$\psi$, measured in the helicity reference frame.
$\lambda_\phi$ as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ for inclusive J/$\psi$, measured in the helicity reference frame.
