The Ruling on Celebrating the Friday of Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have an old custom, which is that when the first Thursday of the month of Rajab arrives, people slaughter animals and wash the children. While washing the children, they say: “O Thursday of the first Rajab, save us from measles and scabies.” They call this day the Miracle of Rajab. Please guide us in light of this question?
Answer:
This is reprehensible and has no basis. It is a religious innovation and is not permissible. “O Thursday!” This is supplication to other than Allah. Supplication to other than Allah is major shirk (associating partners with Allah). The point is that this is a religious innovation and is not permissible. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: We ask Allah for forgiveness and well-being.
