Ruling
regarding celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), gathering people together and talking
about the life of the Messenger and performing the salaah
and finding out about the attributes of the Messenger and
openly sending salutations to him.
Response:
Establishing
celebrating the occasion of his (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) birthday is not permissible, due to
it being an innovation, (something) which the Messenger of
Allaah (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and nor his rightly-guided Khulafaa.
did, and nor other than them from the scholars of the chosen
first three generations.
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.
