Assalamu Alikum do your brother Farik it's a pleasure that I'm
writing to you. My name is Han mobile Shiva seul. I'm pursuing
Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication. I'm from Kosmische.
India. My question is can a Muslim wish their non Muslim colleagues
on their festivals and can we eat in their homes? Now these
religious festivals that contain shake or contain 10 Things that
are prohibited, it is haram. It is prohibited for us Muslims to
celebrate these festivals. It is even prohibited for Muslims to
wish these non Muslims on their religious festivals, these
festivals which contain szerik or things that are haram that are
prohibited in Islam, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the
Glorious Quran in surah Majda chapter number five was number two
water when you are a believer Toccoa Well I thought attire when
you're on the land and help each other towards righteousness and
Taqwa that is fearing Allah subhanaw taala and do not help
each other in sin and transgression. Unfortunately, we
find many Muslims, they wish their non Muslim colleagues and non
Muslim friends on their religious festivals, not realizing that it
is prohibited to wish the non Muslims on their religious
festivals, these festivals that contain shake or things that are
haram and this the opinion of all the classical scholars as well as
the opinions of other scholars as well. And according to shekel
Islam, me Tamia he says that wishing non Muslims on their
religious festivals is prohibited. Celebrating their festivals,
religious festivals, it is prohibited. And the same is the
opinion of ignorance. I am Rahim Allah, may Allah have mercy on him
and may Allah have mercy on shuffle Islamic Tamia as well.
Even notify him Rahim Allah He said that celebrating the
religious festivals of the non Muslims It is haram it is
prohibited and wishing them on these days of the festival it is
prohibited. It is as if a person who has robbed and you are
congratulating him when we wish the non Muslims on their days of
festivals that religious festivals we are agreeing with what they are
doing. We are condoning what they are doing. So this should be
avoided. And there are various religious festivals that are
celebrated by the non Muslims across the world. The most common
form among these religious festivals, it is Christmas. What
is Christmas? The Christians they believe that Christmas is the
birthday of Jesus Christ peace be upon him and they believe that
Almighty God we got a son on the 25th of December now Isabella,
many of the Muslims they wish their non Muslim colleagues with
Merry Christmas, Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran
and so to my that chapter number five was from 72 lapper the Tafara
lady in a call in Hola Hola, merci. Maria, they do tofu. They
don't blaspheme who say Allah is Christ the Son of God? We're
calling mercy and said Christ Yeah, Bani Israel II are children
of his wife or Buddha Allah worship Allah rob you are a book
who's my Lord and your Lord in the home and you should biller For
whosoever shall associate patterns Allah subhanaw taala for chi the
Haram Allahu Allahu Jana, that Allah will make Jana haram for
him. Well, Allahu na and the fire is His dwelling place, one mile of
barley minimum and so on and for the wrongdoers, there is no one to
help Allah subhanho wa Taala says the Glorious Quran Surah Maryam
chapter 19 verse, Psalm 88 to 92. What Takada Rahman WELEDA they say
Allah the Most Merciful has begotten a son, Luca de Jai tomb
che and ADA you have come with a thing most monstrous the God of
some our tournament that if the sky had feelings it could have
burst open What 10 sharp pull out and the Earth would have split
open water Coronavirus. And the mountains would have fallen to
utter ruin. And I will remind you that Allah subhanaw taala has
gotten the sun warmer, bellied Rahmani and yet the weather and it
does not be fit Allah subhanaw taala to get a sun. Allah subhanaw
taala is telling us it is Cofer. It is disbelief. If anyone says
that Allah subhanaw taala is begotten son, and unfortunately
many Muslims. They wish their non Muslim friends they are Christian
colleagues, their Christian friends with Betty Christmas. Do
you know when you are wishing the non Muslims with Merry Christmas,
you are giving shahada you are bearing witness that Allah
subhanaw taala begat a son on the 25th of December now Isabella,
leave aside correcting them, we become a party to them. And many
Muslims, they think that if they wish their non Muslim colleagues
if they wish their Christian friends, if they wish their
Christian colleagues it will increase their friendship and the
compromise on the religion of Islam. When the
A Christian wishes a Muslim that Merry Christmas, we should not
return back the greeting, even wishing them with happy holiday on
this day of Christmas. It is not permitted, it should be avoided.
It should not be done, because we are approving. And we are happy
that they're celebrating this festival. When a Christian wishes
a Muslim with Merry Christmas, what should we do? The best is
that if a person if a Muslim is well versed with Islam and
comparative religion, it is a golden opportunity for us to do
Dawa. We should ask these Christians, what is this
Christmas? So he will tell you that it's the birthday of Jesus
Christ peace be upon Almighty God, we got a son on the 25th of
December, immediately an hour starts there. There is not a
single unequivocal statement, not a single unambiguous statement and
the complete Bible where Jesus Christ upon Himself says, I am God
when He says Worship Me. So Jesus Christ, please be born he never
claimed divinity. It's a golden opportunity for us to do Dawa to
the Christians. If you cannot do this, then the next option is that
at least tell them that you cannot return them back the greeting
because you do not believe that Almighty God Begotten Son on the
25th of December. If you cannot do this, the least the bare minimum
the last option is that you remain silent, but returning back their
greetings, it is prohibited. It is not permitted in Islam. And the
Christians they celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ peace be
upon you, and they say that it's 25th of December. But in fact, if
you read the Bible, the Bible does not mention a specific date. As
far as the birth of Jesus Christ, please be eponymous concern. But
yet the Christians they celebrate this day, that is the 25th of
December and they say that is the birthday of Jesus Christ peace be
upon him. And they say that on this day Almighty God we got a
son. Now Isabella, unfortunately, we find many Muslim that during
these religious festivals, whether it be Christmas or whether it be
other festivals, for example, Ganesha toothy or Durga Puja, many
Muslims, they have businesses for example, a Muslim may have an
electronics business or a business of garments or textiles and they
put banners in their shops, Christmas offer or Christmas See,
even this should not be done. And other religious festivals for
example Ganesha toothy And Ganesha tutti is a festival, where in the
Hindus, they believe that it is the birth of Ganesha, who they
claim is Almighty God and they celebrate this festival and they
make idols on this day. That is the day of festival. Now it is a
golden opportunity for us to Dawa to the Hindus. It is mentioned in
the Vedas as well as in the Punisher. It is mentioned star
star Punisher chapter four verse 290, not the secret the majesty of
that God there is no Pratima of that God there is no image there
is no idol. So the Hindu scriptures clearly prohibits idol
worship, whether it be Bhagwad Gita, as it is mentioned the
Bhagavad Gita chapter number seven was number 20. As well as in
Bhagavad Gita, chapter number 10 was number three, idol worship it
is prohibited, it is mentioned star star Upanishad. It is
mentioned in Jesuit as well. So when the Hindu scriptures
prohibits idol worship, why do the Hindus make images of Almighty God
and go against their religious scriptures? It is a golden
opportunity for us to do Dawa, to the Hindus on their days of
festival. Therefore, celebrating the festivals of the non Muslims,
it should totally be avoided, even wishing them on their days of
festival, it should be avoided. In fact, we should grasp this
opportunity to do Dawa, to our Christian colleagues, to our
Christian friends. And if we do not do Dawa, to our Christian
friends, to our Hindu friends and to our non Muslim friends, on the
Day of Judgment, they will hold our color and they will tell us
that why did you not tell us what we are doing is wrong, and they
will enter hellfire and if you do not do Dawa to them you will
follow them as well. Because it is our duty to do Dawa, to our non
Muslim friends to our non Muslim colleagues. If you truly love your
non Muslim friend, you would not want him to go into hellfire. You
tell him what he's doing he's wrong, rather than agreeing with
him and wishing him on this day of festival. So tell your non Muslim
friends in a nice way that is good with wisdom and with beautiful
teachings and inshallah it will have an impact on them. As far as
eating in the houses of the non Muslims on these days of the
religious festival for example, a Christmas dinner or Christmas
lunch or any other specific lunch when these non Muslims are invited
on that religious festivals specifically on this day of their
religious festival. Even this should totally be avoided, but
generally going to non Muslims, homes or houses. If they invite us
there is no problem and as long as the meat that they're serving is
halal and
This should be fine I hope that answers your question
