Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some imams deliver a word on the 17th of Ramadan about the great Battle of Badr, or they give a Friday sermon about it. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if it is in the way of reminding people and thanking Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But if he believes it is in the way of celebration, and that this is a sunnah (recommended practice), believing that it is a sunnah and that it is a celebration of this occasion, then this is not a celebration of this occasion. Yes.
