Title: They choose a day on which to
speak about the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in
the mosque and they call it a Mawlid
Language: English
Iftaa : Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid
Short Discription: It
is well known that celebrating the prophets birthday is an innovation, A
lot of people have Mawlids, but not to celebrate the prophets birthday
but to teach about the prophet his life and so on so forth. If the event
is not taking place on the prophets birthday is it still considered
haram? Is it just the use of the word mawlid that causes the event to be
considered haram? for example if I were to teach about the prophets
life etc... but not associate the word Mawlid to it would it still be
considered haram? In the same event people would be fed etc... I ask
this because a wedding dinner will be held in the upcoming weekend on
Saturday and since there will be a gathering of people the hosts decided
to teach about the prophet after the dinner in the masjid. They called
it a mawlid but neither does it fall on the day the prophet was born nor
used to celebrate the birth of the prophet but instead to teach about
the prophet. They are doing this instead of having dancing etc... so
that people would benefit more from learning about the life of the
prophet. Please advise. Secondly, If I were to have a gathering at the
mosque just to teach about the life of the prophet and provide food to
those who attend would this be considered haram?.
