Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon the Prophet. Is it permissible to change the day for the people of Allah?
Answer:
If they are committing bid'ah (religious innovations) and need a place to hold the Mawlid celebration or to celebrate religious occasions, such as celebrating the night of Isra and Mi'raj, celebrating in Rajab, or celebrating Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which are all bid'ah (religious innovations). And if they rent out the shop for the purpose of holding these celebrations, or for the purpose of holding a mourning ceremony for the deceased, including wailing and lamentation, then all of this is not permissible, because these are sins, and it is not permissible to assist in them. Yes.
