Question:
Walid, the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What are called the festivals of the Mawlid or national festivals, are they permissible in the Shari'ah?

They are not permissible; none of them are permissible, and they are prohibited. We have only two festivals: 'Id al-Fitr and 'Id al-Adha. Yes.
