✒ Ruling on participation in the holidays of Christians and other disbelievers.(Christmas, Halloween etc..) by Ibn Baz!

▪︎Question: our brother says: he notices that some Muslims participate with Christians at Christ birth or Christmas, as they call it,and he asks for guidance!

Answer:

It is not permissible for a Muslim man or a Muslim woman to participate with Christians, Jews, or other disbelievers in their festivals, rather that should be left because (whoever resembles a people is one of them) and the Messenger (ﷺ) warned us about their similarity and resembling their morals.

The believing men and women should be cautious of that and not help in establishing these festivals in any way, because they are festivals contrary to the law of Allaah, and are held by the enemies of Allah

It is not permissible to participate in it, cooperate with its people, or help them with anything, not with tea, coffee, or anything such as utensils and the like.

Allaah also says: {cooperate in righteousness and piety and do not cooperate in sin and transgressions [Al Maa'dah:2] participating with the disbelievers on their holidays is a kind of cooperation in sin and transgression, it is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to leave that, and a reasonable person should not be deceived by people's actions.

What is required is to consider the Shariah(Islamic law) and what it says, and to comply with the command of Allaah and His Messenger (ﷺ), and not to look at the affairs of people, because most of the creation do not care about what Allaah has prescribed, as Allaah said in his noble book: {and if you obey most of those on earth they will lead you astray from the way of Allaah} [Al-Anaam:116], the Almighty(ﷻ) said: { And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly}. [Yusuf:103], then festivals that violate the Shariah are not permissible, even if people do it.

The believer weighs his deeds and his sayings, and the deeds of people and the sayings of people by the book and the Sunnah, by the book of Allaah(ﷻ) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (ﷺ). what agrees with them or one of them is accepted, even if people leave it, and what disagrees with them or one of them is rejected, even if people do it, may Allaah grant everyone success and guidance.

One must beware of bad companions, as the Prophet ﷺ said in the authentic hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim:

"The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the blacksmith's bellows."

A good companion encourages you toward goodness and virtue, while a bad companion discourages you from righteousness and tempts you toward evil—may Allah protect us.

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:

"Obedience illuminates the heart, purifies it, polishes it, strengthens it, and stabilizes it until it becomes like a polished mirror in its clarity and brilliance, radiating light. When Shaytan approaches such a heart, he is struck by its light, just as a shooting star strikes down a stealthy listener. Shaytan fears this heart more than a wolf fears a lion."

🔴Twenty benefits of sitting in gatherings of knowledge and remembrance [taken from the introduction of the book The Virtue of Knowledge Gatherings and Circles of Remembrance, and their Etiquettes by Shaykh Abdullāh al-Khawlāni]* 🔴***

11. It gives rise to the fear of Allāh in the hearts and softens it.

12. Allāh remembers him by way of them.

13. They are the sittings of the angels (they have no other gatherings in the dunya except those of knowledge; the sittings of heedlessness are in reality sittings of the devils).

14. The servant attains the Salāh of Allāh and the angels i.e; He makes mention of them amongst the lofty gathering of angels and the angels supplicate and seek forgiveness for them.

15. They are gatherings which our Lord boasts about amongst the inhabitants of the heavens.

16. They are considered the gardens of paradise.

17. They consist of preoccupation with good and from evil.

18. Within them is the preoccupation from backbiting, tale carrying, lying, indecencies, faleshood and vain speech.

19. The Muslim also attains as a result of sitting in these gatherings:

- Closeness to Allāh
- Ample doors of understanding
- Provides him with the sustenance of the heart and soul
- Increases the Ēmān of the servant and strengthens it.

✍ Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymīn(رحمه الله)said:

"If you want a small representation of the Day of Judgment, go to the graveyard. There you will find the noble and the lowly, male and female, young and old—all equal, all beneath the soil. None of them possesses a palace or servants or anything else. This is why it is said: 'The first justice of the Hereafter is in the graves.'
