One of the women’s Qur’an memorization centers held events, plays, and songs under the title “Our Souls Are Sacrificed for the Messenger of Allah”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: One of the women’s Qur’an memorization centers wants to hold a course or a campaign titled “Our soul is a sacrifice for your soul, O Messenger of Allah.” It includes lectures, competitions, plays, and songs, and a fee of thirty-five riyals is paid. What is your guidance on this? It is known that it includes a charity meal consisting of the food the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat, as a reminder of his Sunnah. Is this action prescribed?

Answer:
No, this is all nonsense. They have a prescribed way. Also, women leaving their homes is contrary to the Sunnah. The Sunnah is that women stay in their homes and do not go out and gather outside their homes. This is one aspect. The other aspect is the songs and plays. This is not supporting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Supporting the Messenger is by following his Sunnah.
And spreading his Sunnah. Plays and songs are not part of his Sunnah. Also, preparing the food is from the permissible things, not from the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). It is merely a permissible thing. And their claim that this is like the food of the Messenger—what makes them know that this is like the food of the Messenger? The Messenger ate from barley, and sometimes he could not find barley, so he ate dates if he found them. These people bring the finest food and say this is the food of the Messenger. Yes.
