Question:
In his second question, he says: What is the ruling on one who revives some of the customs and traditions that are from the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah)?
Answer:
It is not permissible to revive the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). This is because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has forbidden the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and what is in it, and He has legislated for us the religion of Islam. He, the Exalted, said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:50] Therefore, it is not permissible to claim affiliation with the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) or to revive any of its customs. Allah has made us self-sufficient through Islam and has forbidden us from the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and what is in it. Yes.
