#MawlidReminders
PART 2⃣
❓Is celebrating Mawlid Obligatory or Recommended?
🎓The ‘Allaama Shaykh Taj-Uddeen Faakihanee who died in the year (734 A.H.) said in his unique booklet about this subject entitled: ‘al-Mawrid fee Amal al-Mawlid’ and this is its wording and text:
▶️Amma Ba’d:
Indeed a question has been repeated from a group of blessed people about a gathering which some of the people organize in the month of Rabi al-Awwal and they call it ‘al-Mawlid’:
🔻Does it have an origin in the Shar'iah?
🔻Or is it a Bida’ and innovation in the Deen?
They wanted the answer to this to be clear and to clarify it specifically.
➡️So I say – and success is with Allaah –:
I do not know of an origin for this Mawlid neither in the Book of Allaah nor in the Sunnah, nor was it narrated that any of the scholars of the Ummah performed it; those scholars who are an example for the Deen, holding on to the Athaar of the predecessors.
❗️Rather, Mawlid is a Bid'ah, it was innovated by magicians; those parasites who followed their desires and became rich by it.
📌The evidence for this is that if we applied the five types of Shar'iah rulings to it we would say: It is either obligatory (Waajib), recommended (Mandoob), permissible (Mubaah), disliked (Makrooh) or prohibited (Muharam)!!
🔰By consensus it is neither obligatory nor recommended; because the reality of a recommended act is: an act which is sanctioned by the Shar'iah without any disapproval for the one who leaves it. The Shar'iah did not give permission for the Mawlid and the Companions did not do it, neither the Tabieen nor the religious scholars – as far as I know.
This is my response to this before Allaah –Ta’ala – if I am asked about it.
📌Nor is it correct that it is permissible (Mubaah), because innovating in the Deen is not permissible – and all the Muslims are in agreement regarding this.
❗️So nothing remains except that it is disliked (Makrooh) or prohibited (Muharam).’
