Question:
May Allah bless you. Abu al-Hanuf from Yemen says: I love you for the sake of Allah, Honorable Shaykh. My question is: What is the ruling on celebrating the Prophet's birthday? And does the one who goes to watch that celebration commit a sin?
Answer:
It is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Celebrating the Prophet's birthday is a bid'ah, and every bid'ah is misguidance, as stated in the hadith. So the Muslim should avoid it and not attend it. Yes.
