Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to hold Christian festivals in the Arabian Peninsula?
Answer:
Christian festivals are not permissible to hold, neither in the Arabian Peninsula nor anywhere else. This is because we are forbidden from imitating them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani). Therefore, it is not permissible to imitate the disbelievers in their festivals, to assist them in them, or to encourage them to do so, neither in the Arabian Peninsula nor anywhere else.
