Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh, may Allah guide you, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on what has become popular among some people, namely celebrating what is called Valentine's Day, which they celebrate in these days?
Answer:
It is not permissible. In Islam, there are only two festivals: the festival at the end of Ramadan and the festival of sacrifice. These are the two lawful festivals for Muslims. The festival of sacrifice comes after performing the pillar of Hajj, and the festival at the end of Ramadan comes after performing the fasting, which is a pillar of Islam. Every festival comes after the performance of a pillar of Islam. There are no festivals in Islam other than these two: the festival at the end of Ramadan and the festival of sacrifice. Yes.
