Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we see on some satellite channels people celebrating the Mawlid, such as the Sufis, so what is the ruling on our watching that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to watch this except for one who condemns it, for one who performs condemnation of it upon the one who does it. As for one who merely watches and does not condemn it, this is not permissible.
