What is the ruling on the anthems held at the Mawlid celebrations?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : As for the anthems they recite in groups
The Shaykh : What are the anthems? I mean, what are they? And what is their subject matter?
The questioner : The Sufis...
The Shaykh : What is their subject matter? Perhaps there is exaggeration regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : Generally, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, I say that the Mawlid, with its anthems and everything else, is all forbidden and not permissible. And with this, this session ends. We ask Allah the Exalted to bless us and you in it, and until we meet again next Thursday, if Allah wills.
