Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : When did the innovation of the Mawlid appear, O Shaykh Muhammad?
The Shaykh : It appeared in the fourth century, meaning the three blessed centuries had passed and no one had established it. It appeared in the fourth century, and in the seventh century it increased, spread, and became deeply entrenched.
And, praise be to Allah, books have been written on this matter that clarify the origin of this religious innovation, its foundation, and its status in the Shari'ah, and that it has no basis in the law of Allah.
