May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on attending some of the gatherings of the Christians and participating in some of their festivals under the pretext of winning them over to Islam?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible.[Al-Furqan 25:72] That is, they do not attend the festivals of the disbelievers, so it is not permissible to attend them. Nor is it permissible to participate in them or to assist them in them.
