Celebrating Teacher's Day, Mother's Day, and the like

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
O professor, what is your view on designating a specific date for Teacher's Day, from doing good to a specific person, no more than a specific person?

Answer:
Celebrating the teacher, all of these are customs and traditions of Teacher's Day, and Mother's Day, and Father's Day, and the like; they are all defective traditions that came to us from the disbelievers. We honor the teacher always and forever. The teacher of the horses—what does that mean? We do not designate a day to honor him; rather, he is honored on every day and in every hour; no specific honor is designated for him. Likewise, the mother is honored always and forever; it is not limited to a specific day. Mosques must be maintained and cared for always and forever; they do not come in a specific week. Trees are planted in the appropriate times of the year, at the time of need, and no specific day is designated for them, except for these defective traditions. Yes.
