The ruling on celebrating the wedding anniversary and the like

Question:
One of the scholars appeared on television and was asked about the ruling on celebrating the wedding anniversary; he answered that there is no harm in it as long as this celebration does not take on a religious character?

Answer:
Celebrations for holidays like Mother’s Day, the wedding anniversary, or such and such, these are wrong, new occurrences, and religious innovations that have no basis.
As for celebrating the marriage itself, such as holding a wedding feast because he has married his wife or contracted the marriage, there is no harm in that. But something that becomes customary on a certain night of the year, whenever the year of the marriage comes around, holding a holiday every year, this is wrong, one of the innovations that people have introduced, with no justification and no basis. Or holding a holiday for his child when the year is completed, this is so-and-so’s holiday, and this is so-and-so’s holiday; they inherited this from the Christians, the Jews, and their like, and it imitates the enemies of Allah. So this is not permissible; rather, it is wrong.
And whoever issued a fatwa that it is permissible has erred, whether it is called a religion or not called a religion; for a thing may be called worship, and it may not be called worship, but it is prohibited because it involves imitating the enemies of Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So it is not permissible for us to imitate the holidays of the disbelievers.
