The Ruling on Participating with the Christians in Their Festivals
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Your Eminence, father, what is the ruling on Muslims participating in the festivals of the Christians? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is one of the causes of shirk (associating partners with Allah), one of the means to shirk. It is not permissible to participate in their festivals, whether in the festivals of mawlid or any others. Rather, one must be cautious of that. We ask Allah for safety.
