Solutions for Eradicating the Innovation of the Mawlid

The questioner:
The last one says: I reside in al-Khazaf. I traveled and brought my mother back.

The Shaykh:
Okay.

The questioner:
What are the solutions you see for eradicating this innovation in our present time? Yes, he mentioned them. It is considered that he wrote a commentary on the mawlid, meaning he is the closest one mentioned.

The Shaykh:
Eradicating it requires the cooperation of scholars and the advice of rulers so that they put an end to it. If the scholars cooperate, unite, and advise the rulers, then perhaps it will be eradicated, if Allah wills. This is alongside the dissemination of knowledge among people through commentaries, sermons in congregations, letters, and dissemination in newspapers and radio. All of this is sufficient if Allah grants the scholars success and they unite. The calamity is their disagreement. If the scholars disagree, this seems good and that seems good, this is permissible and that is forbidden, it becomes an opportunity for those with ulterior motives. Disagreement is an opportunity for those with ulterior motives to insert what they want. Yes.

Another questioner:

It exists. The prohibition is from the beginning.

Another questioner:
Professor, the scholars of the people of these lands themselves.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
The scholars of the people of these lands are the same ones who approve of this innovation, or rather participate in it?

The Shaykh:
Perhaps some of them, and this is the disease that agitates the common people, yes.
