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:
Is celebrating the Prophet's birthday halaal
or haraam?
Response:
Establishing the celebration of the Prophet's birthday or
(the birthday of) other than him is an innovation. And it
has been confirmed on the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) that he said:
((Whoever
introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam)
that which is not from it, will have it rejected)),
[Saheeh
al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh
Muslim/1718].
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.
