Celebrating holidays of non-Muslims


418

A: All these days are innovated celebrations which are not permissible for Muslims to participate in or celebrate. In Islam, there are only two `Eids: `Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Breaking the Fast) and `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice). Thus, a Muslim whom Allah has guided to the truth should advise and gently instruct those who celebrate such innovated feasts. If he abandons this practice, it will be good; otherwise, he will be considered a persistent doer of Bid`ah (innovation in Islam) who is sinful for that action.
