Question:
May Allah be with you, Your Eminence, the father. The questioner asks about the extraordinary things done by the performers at festivals, such as eating embers and glass, and pulling heavy objects. Those who watch them claim that they are among the righteous, citing their beards and the recitation of some dhikr (remembrance of Allah).
Answer:
What Allah willed. This is not magic. This is magic, I think. A room? Is it not permissible? Even if they have beards? Even if they have? Even if they are using toothpicks and have companions? Even if they are wearing short clothes? Even if? Anyone who displays these appearances is valid. This is deception and evil. Yes. This is magic. It is not permissible.
No, not in festivals, and not in the 'Eids, and the 'Eids are more severe because the 'Eids are acts of worship. The 'Eids are seasons of worship and remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. So it is not permissible to commit sins in them. This is disbelief in the blessing, disbelief in the blessing of worship, fasting, and Hajj. It is not permissible, and it is not fitting for the 'Eids of Muslims to be turned into amusement and play, and into magic, and into theatrical plays. It is not permissible. These are days of worship and days of remembrance of Allah and gratitude to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
