What is the ruling on preachers mentioning the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on his birthday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : As for the second part of the question: some people in the first month of Rajab mention the state of the Arabs before the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, their state after he was sent, how the revelation came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the like. This is not part of celebrating the birthday. Why? Because the preacher mentions it in a prescribed sermon; he is not renewing a sermon or initiating a gathering. Rather, the sermon is prescribed. I see no harm in mentioning what is appropriate for the place or the time. The harm lies in inventing something that did not exist. As for this, the sermon is prescribed every Friday, and mentioning what is appropriate for the time or place is not considered a religious innovation.
The questioner : Meaning he mentions it, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : There is no harm. He mentions, for example, as you pointed out, the state of people before the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, their state after he was sent, and how he was sent (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no objection. Yes.
