Fariq Naik – Is It Allowed to Wish the Non Muslims in Their Festivals

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
