Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Are the celebrations and delivering lectures about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered a religious innovation?
No,He says: If the preacher delivers the Friday sermon and mentions in it the beginning of the Messenger’s (peace and blessings be upon him) mission and something of his life, is it considered a religious innovation?Answer: No.
Why? Because this Friday sermon exists and is established from before. As for holding a lecture on the same day, that is one of the means of religious innovation. As for this year, it does not coincide with the twelfth Friday; the Friday is the eleventh. In any case, if the original sermon is prescribed, like the Friday sermon, and a person mentions the mission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in it, there is nothing wrong with it; because this is a mention of the history of his life on the occasion of his mission (peace and blessings be upon him) and his birth. As for holding a lecture on these days, that is among the religious innovations. If it were not a religious innovation, it would be an argument for the people of innovation.
