Celebrating the Mawlid, National Day, and Tree Week
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some scholars say that the Mawlid, National Day, Tree Week, Mosques Week, and Traffic Week are all permissible because they are among the people's customs.
Answer:
It is permissible in his view, but in our view it is not permissible, because these fall under festivals. A festival is what recurs every year, every week, and every month, and it is what is known as a festival. Does he say this? Does he know what a festival is and what it means? This is due to his ignorance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
