The ruling on congratulating disbelievers on their festivals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on congratulating disbelievers on their festivals, given that the ruling of permissibility has begun to spread in some newspapers and readings?
Answer:
It is not permissible to congratulate them on falsehood; this is false and this is a lie. Allah named the festivals of the disbelievers "al-zur" (falsehood). He, the Exalted and Majestic, said:[Al-Furqan 25:72] And al-zur is the festivals of the disbelievers; Allah called them al-zur. So we do not witness them, we do not attend them, we do not ask about them, we do not congratulate them on them, and we do not eat from their food that they prepare for them. We do not participate with them in any way. We disavow them and their religion. The one who issued this fatwa did not think about the consequences, nor did he think about the evidence. Yes.
