Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. This question came from Algeria, and its asker says: What is the ruling on holding competitions on the occasion of the Prophet's birthday?
Answer:
The Prophet's birthday, holding celebrations and competitions, is a bid'ah (religious innovation) that is not part of the religion. It is a bid'ah. Every bid'ah is misguidance, and it is not permissible to cooperate with them. It is not permissible to cooperate with them by attending, by providing money, by encouraging them, or by defending them. This is a bid'ah. Every bid'ah is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
