It Is Haram To Celebrate New Years! - Islam for Muslim

As-Salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

I wish for you best of Imaan and health, inshaAllah.

I think this is a very important reminder and i hope all of you take advantage of it and refrain from doing such.

Quote:

Is it permissible to attend the celebrations of Christian festivals and congratulate them?

Praise be to Allaah.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: it is not permissible for the Muslims to attend the festivals of the mushrikeen, according to the consensus of the scholars whose words carry weight. The fuqaha’ who follow the four schools of thought have stated this clearly in their books… Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a saheeh isnaad from ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab that he said: “Do not enter upon the mushrikeen in their churches on the day of their festival, for divine wrath is descending upon them.” And ‘Umar also said: “Avoid the enemies of Allaah on their festivals.” Al-Bayhaqi narrated with a jayyid isnaad from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr that he said: “Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah, 1/723-724).

It is haram to celebrate New Years and also believe and act upon the new years resolution. The believer should not fall for this because it is the festivals of others.

I came to warn you and i want all of you avoid such and also warn your fellow Muslims.

May Allah(Subhannah wa ta3ala) protect us from following the foot steps of shaytaan, increase us in Imaan, knowledge and health. AMiin

And Allah (Subhannahu wa ta3ala) knows best.

Your brother in Islam.
