Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Next week, some Muslims will hold a celebration for the Prophet's birthday. What is your guidance to us regarding our relations with our relatives in our countries?
Answer:
The advice is your relation: give them advice, and make it clear to them that this has no basis in the Shari'ah, and that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Make this clear to them, for this is your duty.
