It is not permissible for Muslims to participate in
the festival of Christmas. Muslims are not allowed to celebrate or participate
in festivals or holidays of Jews and Christmas. It is obligatory to abandon
them because:
“He who imitates a
people is from them.”
Our Holy Prophet
warned us against imitating and adorning ourselves with the ways and mannerism
of non-believers. We are neither allowed to participate nor aid in any kind of
celebration that has nothing to do with our religion Islam. All acts which are
not in Islam are sins and Allah says about them:
Help you one another in Al-Birr
and At-Taqwaa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another
in sin and transgression.(Al-Ma’idah 5:2)
So
participating with the disbelievers in their holidays is a type of helping them
upon sin and transgression. Hence, it is obligatory upon every Muslim male and
female to abandon that and it is not befitting for the one who has intellect to
be deceived by the people in their actions.
