Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person attends the bid'ah mawlid and is ignorant of its being an innovation, and considers it good and a sunnah (recommended practice) because he loves the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), does he sin even though he is ignorant of the ruling?
Answer:
He sins because he did not ask about its ruling. He is among the scholars and the people of knowledge, and he hears the sermons, hears the hadiths on the radio, and reads books and warnings about these mawlid. The proof has reached him. If he does not read or listen, it is obligatory for him to ask about these innovations. He goes on without asking, and he is negligent in any case, and it is not known. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
