Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: In our country, schools hold annual celebrations for what is called Teacher's Day. Celebrations are held in the schools and in the education departments, which include theatrical performances, musical performances, and students singing. The male teachers mix with the female teachers, and some of the distinguished teachers are honored. What is the ruling on this celebration? And what is the ruling on the attendance of male and female teachers at the celebration if it is at the level of the town?
Answer:
First, this celebration has no basis, and there is nothing in Islam called celebrating the day of the teacher; this is an innovation. Second, it contains what is wrong, as you mentioned, including theatrical performances and mixing between men and women. All of this is evil, and it is obligatory to leave it and avoid it.
