The Ruling on Celebrating the Prophet's Birthday

Question:
May Allah reward you. From the questions of questioner A. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on celebrating the Prophet's birthday? We ask for guidance and the correct answer regarding this?

Answer:
The scholars have spoken on this matter, both in the past and the present, and they have prohibited it and warned against it; because it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Celebrating the occasion of the Prophet's birthday is a bid'ah, , it is not in the Book of Allah, nor in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), (peace and blessings be upon him), nor in the practice of the preferred generations was there a celebration of the Prophet's birthday. And whatever is like that is a bid'ah. The celebration of the Prophet's birthday only occurred after the preferred generations, after the fourth century of the Hijrah, when the generations about which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke well had ended, and he informed that after them would come people who say what they do not do, and do what they are not commanded to do. And among that is that they introduced this bid'ah into the religion of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
