Your Eminence, may Allah preserve you. You mentioned that celebrating the Mawlid is a religious innovation. What is the ruling on one who sits in the mosques with a speaker who talks about the birth and upbringing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Whoever participates with someone in a religious innovation bears its sin. It is not permissible for a person to participate in their celebrations because it is a religious innovation.
