Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who cite the fasting on Monday, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the reason that it was the day he was born, and that there is no harm in celebrating personal birthdays,
Answer:
Oh, glory be to Allah. If they want to follow the Sunnah, they fast on this day and do not celebrate. The Messenger did not celebrate on this day, the day of the Mawlid; he did not celebrate on it. Fast, if you want to follow the Sunnah, fast. But they want to eat; they hold feasts and do other things. Yes, indeed.
