The Ruling on Celebrating the Prophet's Birthday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on celebrating the birth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in this month of Rabi'?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), this is a bid'ah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did his righteous successors do it, nor did the blessed generations do it. Rather, it occurred at the hands of the Ubaydi Shi'ah, the Fatimids, who ruled Egypt and the Levant in their time. They are the ones who brought us these innovations. So this is not permissible. Yes.
