What is the ruling on mentioning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on his festivals?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If someone says, "We are in these festivals, especially the birthday of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and we remember Allah and send prayers upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and this is good," you should answer them: Who does that? He remembers that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a matter of prayers, and who among the Muslims remembers the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Resurrection?

Answer : So we say this commemoration is not needed, because the believers remember the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in every prayer, and indeed in every righteous deed, because a righteous deed must involve sincerity and following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And if you want to follow in your deeds, you must remember the one you are following.
