Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: In the name of Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book al-Iqtida' "Chapter: The festival is a generic term that includes every day or place where they gather, and every action they innovate in these places and times. Therefore, the prohibition is not specific to their festivals, but rather to every time they exalt"
The Shaykh : Rather, every, every, rather, whatever
The Reader: Yes.
The Shaykh : It appears that raising the 'kull' (every) is better
The reader: "Rather, whatever time or place they exalt that has no basis in the religion of Islam, and the actions they innovate in them fall under this. Likewise, the sanctity of the festival: it is the days before and after it in which they do things for its sake, or the places around it in which they do things for its sake, or the actions that occur due to its actions, whose ruling is the same as its ruling. So one should not do any of that. Indeed, some people may refrain from innovating things on the days of their festivals, such as Thursday or Christmas, and say to their families: 'I only do this for you in the other week or month.' The only thing that moves him to innovate that is the existence of their festival; were it not for that, they would not have done it. This is also among the implications of imitation"
The Shaykh : In your copy, 'were it not for it'
The reader: Were it not for it
The Shaykh : Yes, the pronoun means
The Reader: Yes.
The Shaykh : The 'ha' and 'waw'
The reader: Yes, correct "Were it not for it, they would not have done it. This is also among the implications of imitation. But the family should be directed to the festival of Allah"
