The Ruling on Exaggeration in Loving the Messenger and Setting Out Feasts for the Mawlid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ghazi from al-Qaryatayn asks, saying: What is the ruling on exaggeration in loving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and setting up feasts, as well as on commemorating his birth?
Answer:
These are bid'ah (religious innovations) and are not permissible; they are not part of loving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Innovations are not part of loving the Messenger, because the Messenger prohibited them. Part of loving him is avoiding what he (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited and doing what he commanded. Loving the Messenger does not mean that you include in it something that Allah the Exalted has not prescribed. Yes.
