Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace

The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you

The questioner : I have a question for you, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Please go ahead.

The questioner : Regarding this birthday that people celebrate, is it permissible to eat from the food they serve?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : Even after the celebration is over?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not permissible.

The questioner : Well, Shaykh, another question, if possible?

The Shaykh : No, it is not possible; only one question per night.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And you as well.
Ali: I have been consistent with it for two years, Shaykh, and I am becoming a scholar.

The Shaykh : Hehehe, we ask Allah to make us beneficial.
Ali: O Allah, amen.

Another questioner : Where is the birthday? The birthday of the year?

The Shaykh : Of course, what is the Prophet's birthday? Allah is the Greatest. This is among the harms of religious innovation; one thing leads to another.
