What is the ruling on the mawlid celebrations held every year?

Our brother asks and says: What is the ruling on the mawlid celebrations held every year?
Answer: Mawlid means celebrating the birthdays. This is a religious innovation (bid'ah) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do, nor did his Rightly Guided Caliphs (may Allah be pleased with them), nor did his satisfied Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) all of them, nor did the followers in the first, second, and third centuries, which are the best centuries. It is clear that it is an innovation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: narrated by Muslim in the Sahih. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning: it is rejected. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the Friday sermon: narrated by Muslim in the Sahih. Al-Nasa'i added with a sound chain: And in the hadith of al-'Arba' ibn Sari'ah: So these celebrations for the birth of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or the birth of al-Badawi, or the birth of al-Husayn, or the birth of Fatimah, or the birth of so-and-so, or the birth of Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir, or others like this, are all innovations. It is obligatory for Muslims to abandon them and beware of encouraging them. It is obligatory for us to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and proceed according to his methodology and the methodology of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the best of them.
As for innovating something that Allah has not prescribed, this is not permissible for us. The religion is complete, praise be to Allah. Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Ma'idah: 3]. So something that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did not do, we have no right to do. They are more knowledgeable than us, better than us, and superior to us, and more knowledgeable about the Shari'ah, and they loved the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) more than we do. So if they did something, we follow them in it.
And as for innovating, no, it is not permissible for us to innovate. Allah says: [Al-Shura: 21]. Following is sufficient for us, and we must beware of innovation. For this reason, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the best of them said: "Follow." The Companions advise the followers, saying to them: "Follow and do not innovate, for you have been made free from it." We have been made free from it, praise be to Allah. Have you seen if a person were to innovate a sixth prayer and say: "My intention is good, and we must pray at ten o'clock by the solar time, a sixth prayer, or at nine o'clock, because the time between Fajr and Zuhr is long, so we should make a sixth prayer in this long time." Would he be rewarded or punished? By the consensus of the scholars of knowledge, he would be punished, and it would be invalid, and he would be an innovator, even though he said: "Pray." He did not say: "Commit adultery," nor did he say: "Steal." He said: "Pray a sixth prayer." Why? Because he is an innovator; because he legislated a religion that Allah has not authorized.
And likewise, if he said: "We must perform Hajj twice instead of once a year, once in Dhul-Hijjah and once in, for example, Rajab, or in Jumada, or in Ramadan." If someone said this, it would be invalid according to all scholars of knowledge, even though he did not call for anything but Hajj, he did not call for anything but remembrance and obedience, but it is not in its proper place; it is an innovation.
And likewise, if he said: "Ramadan is not enough, we will fast another month, we will fast a second month with Ramadan, and he called for this, we will fast, for example, Rabi' al-Akhir or Jumada al-Ula with Ramadan, or Muharram, or Safar, because this is an increase in good and obedience or worship." This person would also be an innovator. So if he said: "We must celebrate the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) on his birthday, or celebrate the Day of Conquest, or the Day of Badr, or celebrate the birth of al-Siddiq, or the birth of 'Umar, or the birth of 'Uthman, or the birth of 'Ali, or the birth of Fatimah, or the birth of Hud, or Salih, from the prophets of Allah, or the birth of others from the righteous," it is said: This is an innovation. As long as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, and he is the most advising of people, the best of people, the most knowledgeable of people, the most pious of people, and the most fearful of people of Allah, and yet he did not do it, nor did he call for it, nor did he say: "When the day of my birth comes, celebrate me, do such and such, and do such and such." Nor did al-Siddiq al-Akbar, the best of creation after the prophets, do it. Nor did al-Faruq 'Umar do it. Nor did 'Uthman, the one with two lights, do it. Nor did 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) al-Murtada, Abu al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) do it. Nor did the rest of the Companions do it. Nor did the followers do it. Nor did their followers with excellence in the best centuries do it. Rather, the first to innovate it was the group of the Fatimids, who are Rafidah Shi'ah. They innovated it and made mawlid celebrations there for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for their ruler, for Fatimah, and for al-Husayn. How can one follow these people? No one of sound mind follows them, nor one who honors the religion of Allah. But some people followed them after this, and those who followed them are not a model. The obligatory thing is to take the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions as a model and to hasten to his prohibition. This is what is obligatory for Muslims wherever they are. So we ask Allah to guide the Muslims to take him (peace and blessings be upon him) as a model and proceed according to his methodology, and to guide them to abandon all innovations. Yes.
