The questioner : What is the evidence for the non-prescription of these festivals that were invented in Islam?
The Shaykh : First, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the Companions in Madinah. The Ansar, and all of them, had festivals other than the two festivals. He abolished them and approved of them, and he made for them, and he said: "Allah has replaced them for you."
The questioner : The evidence.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Okay, that is one. Yes, intelligent.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : And the absence of evidence indicates that.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : Yes, and the default ruling for them is prohibition. The default ruling for acts of worship is prohibition except
The Shaykh : except with evidence.
