Wishing Non Muslims On Their Celebration
Posted by A Hasan on August 22, 2020 at 11:21 pmSome people say doing this act is akin to saying ‘have fun doing shirk with Allah’ and therefore it is haraam to wish eg happy Diwali. I have seen Ghamidi sahabs video about this topic. Is the interpretation of these people correct?

Wishing Non Muslims On Their Celebration

Contributor August 23, 2020 at 12:15 amThere is an argument that it is as if saying happy lying happy killing or enjoy your bacon

Contributor August 23, 2020 at 12:23 amBecause the argument that seems to be made is for the sake of socialism you should do this- but doesn’t it maybe cross over into sending mixed messages about shirk?

Contributor August 23, 2020 at 12:38 amMe wishing them happiness on their festival will lead to them strengthening their beliefs in polytheism and perhaps maybe legitimises it for them from even our view. Principles should not be sacrificed for courtesy

Contributor August 23, 2020 at 2:42 amIs there any example of Prophet or Sahabas wishing the Christians on Christmas ?

Contributor August 24, 2020 at 6:08 amI may be wrong but I don’t think they celebrated Christmas in the modern sense

Contributor August 24, 2020 at 6:37 amThere might be some Muslims who may have had Christians and Jews as their wives (before Prophet ordered to throw out Jews/Christians from their homes in Arabia) and they must be observing the Christmas day or any Jewish festival.

Contributor August 25, 2020 at 2:21 amSo it is correct- Hindu festivals like Diwali involve shirk so we shouldn’t congratulate them

Contributor August 25, 2020 at 3:23 amIs it haraam to wish them ? If it is, how can donating for temples be not haraam ?

A Hasan
Contributor August 25, 2020 at 3:50 amMy view is both are not permitted

Sameer Bhagwat
Contributor August 25, 2020 at 4:31 amAre you saying donating for temples is haraam ? Which verse you used to derive this ruling from Allah ?
-
A Hasan
Contributor August 25, 2020 at 5:15 amIt is like saying if you open up a brothel it is not haraam to earn money from it. Fitrah and common sense tells us it’s wrong.
