The ruling on designating a specific day for mothers and naming it Mother's Day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to designate a specific day for mothers and name it Mother's Day or the Festival of Mothers?
Answer:
I mean, is there anyone who knows their mother only on that day? A mother is known throughout one's entire life, always and forever, during her lifetime and after her death. Is there a specific day on which one knows her only then? Furthermore, this is an innovation; it is not permissible.
