Is there anything prescribed in the days of the Prophet's birthday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there anything prescribed in these days?
The Shaykh:
Which days?
The questioner:
The days of the Mawlid, he says.
The Shaykh:
No, nothing is prescribed specifically for them, and it has no basis. The Mawlid has no basis; it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Its origin is a bid'ah, so introducing any acts of worship in it is an approval of the bid'ah, an addition to the bid'ah, and a confirmation of it. Yes.
