By the Great Scholar

Shaikh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baz

  (رحمه اللّه)

 

I am a female student and it is a must that I travel to visit my family every six months but I go to them without a mahram (related male guardian), and I ,Allah forgive me and you, know the ruling of that.  My family orders me to travel so what am I to do, Allah have mercy on you?  Please direct me, Allah reward you, and what is the ruling if with a group of girl?

Muslims Participating in Christmas

By The Great Scholar

Shaikh Abdul-Azeez ibn Baz

  (رحمه اللّه)

 

It has been noticed that some of the Muslims participate in Christmas along side the Christians and advice is requested in this matter.

 

It is not permissible for the Muslims male of female to cooperate with the Christians, Jews, or any other religious group in celebrating their holidays. It is obligatory that they abandon such practices because whoever imitates a group of people (becomes) from them and the prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) has warned us from imitating them and adopting their manners.  Therefore it is a must that the believer be weary of that and not aid them in establishing these celebrations in any way due to them being celebrations in direct opposition to Allah's legislation.  The enemies of Allah establish these celebrations thus it is not permissible to take part in them, to cooperate with them, or to help them with anything (in this regard) not even with tea, coffee, or even (using your) dishes.  Allah the Glorified said,

وَتَعَاوَنُواْ   عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ   وَالْعُدْوَانِ

  "and help one another upon righteousness and piety and do not help one another upon sin and transgression"  (Al-Ma'idah 5:2)

Participating with the non-Muslims in their celebrations is a form of cooperation upon sin and transgression so it is obligatory upon every Muslim, male and female, to abandon this practice. Likewise it is not appropriate for then intelligent person to be mislead by the people's actions.  It is a must that one look to the legislation of Islam and what it came with, to follow the orders of Allah and His messenger, and to not look at the actions and issues of the people because most of them do not care about what Allah legislated just as He said,

وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ

"And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah's Path." (Al-An'am 6:116  (

وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ

 "And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly."  (Yusuf 12:103)

Therefore, it is not permissible to adopt the traditions and customs which are in direct conflict with the Islamic legislation even if all the people are practicing them.  The believer judges his actions, speech, the action of the people, and their speech with the book of Allah and practice of His messenger (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam), and that which is in agreement with one or both of them is acceptable even if the people do not practice it and that which conflicts with or opposes one or both of them is rejected even if all the people practice it.

I ask Allah to grant everyone success and guidance and that He reward all of you with good.

يلاحظ أن بعضاً من المسلمين يشاركون المسيحيين في عيد الميلاد, أو الكرسمس -كما يسمونه- ويرجو التوجيه.

                                                                                

لا يجوز للمسلم ولا للمسلمة مشاركة النصارى, أو اليهود, أو غيرهم من الكفرة في أعيادهم, بل يجب ترك ذلك؛ لأن من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم, والرسول - صلى الله عليه وسلم - حذرنا من مشابهتهم والتخلق بأخلاقهم, فعلى المؤمن وعلى المؤمنة الحذر من ذلك, وأن لا يساعد في إقامة هذه الأعياد بأي شيء؛ لأنها أعياد مخالفة لشرع الله, ويقيمها أعداء الله فلا يجوز الاشتراك فيها, ولا التعاون مع أهلها, ولا مساعدتهم بأي شيء, لا بالشاي, ولا بالقهوة, ولا بأي شيء من الأمور كالأواني, ونحوها وأيضاً يقول الله سبحانه: وَتَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الْبرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلاَ تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ فالمشاركة مع الكفرة في أعيادهم نوع من التعاون على الإثم والعدوان, فالواجب على كل مسلم وعلى كل مسلمة ترك ذلك, ولا ينبغي للعاقل أن يغتر بالناس في أفعالهم, الواجب أن ينظر في الشرع إلى الإسلام وما جاء به, وأن يمتثل أمر الله ورسوله, وأن لا ينظر إلى أمور الناس فإن أكثر الخلق لا يبالي بما شرع الله, كما قال الله- عز وجل في كتابه العظيم-: وَإِن تُطِعْ أَكْثَرَ مَن فِي الأَرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وقال سبحانه: وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ فالعوائد المخالفة للشرع لا يجوز الأخذ بها وإن فعلها الناس, والمؤمن يزن أفعاله, وأقواله, ويزن أفعال الناس وأقوال الناس بالكتاب والسنة ,بكتاب الله وسنة رسوله عليه الصلاة والسلام فما وافقهما أو أحدهما فهو المقبول, وإن تركه الناس, وما خالفهما أو أحدهما فهو المردود وإن فعله الناس رزق الله الجميع للتوفيق والهداية. جزاكم الله خيراً
