Question:
What is the ruling regarding celebrating the birthday of the
Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) in the month of Rabee'
al-Awwal in honour of him (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)?
Response:
Honouring the Prophet and respecting him is by: Believing
in all that he came with from Allaah, and following his Sharee'ah
and 'aqeedah
verbally, actively and in character, and leaving off innovation
in the religion, and from innovation in the religion is celebrating
the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam).
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
