Question:
The questioner says: In our country, mawlid gatherings are held at the graves of some of the awliya (close friends of Allah), and a large number of people attend these gatherings, coming from

Answer:
My brothers, religion is not about customs and traditions. The religion is what came ; anything else is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and haram (forbidden). Among these are these mawlid celebrations. These mawlid celebrations are not mentioned in the Book of Allah or in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so they are a bid'ah (religious innovation) based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) . He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Beware of you," which is a warning, . So whatever is a rejected bid'ah (religious innovation); a rejected bid'ah (religious innovation) must be abandoned, even if the people of your country or the people of such-and-such a country do it. There is no proof in the saying of anyone or the action of anyone except in what came in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
