The Ruling on Reviving Matters of the Pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q280: The questioner asks: Is everything attributed to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) considered a major sin, or is there a distinction?
A280: Everything attributed to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) is forbidden (muharram) and belongs to the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), except for the permissible things shared by people, which are among the interests of people; these are not problematic in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) or in Islam. As for the things specific to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), it is not permissible for Muslims to revive them or establish them.
