Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A questioner from outside this country says: Among the evidence we use for celebrating the Mawlid is the saying of the Exalted,[Yunus 10:58] They say: We rejoice in this, in the birth of the Messenger.
Answer:
May Allah keep you safe. This is an interpretation of the Qur'an other than its meaning. “So in that let them rejoice” means: it is better than what is gathered for you[Yunus 10:58].
