Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on performing 'Umrah in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal for the sake of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) birthday?

Answer:
This is not permissible. The Mawlid is a bid'ah (religious innovation). It has no specific time, there is no virtue in it, and reviving it is a bid'ah. This is not permissible.
