ملتقى أهل العلم - Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon you. عيد الحب بالانجليزي

Dear Brother Vendor:

Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon you.

I would like to remind you of the grace of Allah Almighty to you in Islam, among which is in

the supplication of the Prophet (peace be upon him):

“O Allah! (He Who) alters the hearts;

make firm my heart upon Your religion." You must be

proud of being a Muslim and be afraid

of the vanishing of this grace.

Brother, on the 14th of February this year, the

unbelievers will celebrate one of their festivals

which we do not have any connection with known as

“Day of Love” in remembrance of the

Christian Priest, Valentine; therefore, you must be

watchful or cautious to sale any items

related to or in connection with this celebration because

your selling of any of these items

would be regarded as supporting them toward

performing their false festivals. Even if the

buyers are Muslims, since we Muslims have only two

festivals, Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha;

and all others are considered innovation and forbidden.

You must know that earnings from

selling any of the items necessary for the celebration of

this festival and other prohibited

festivals – if you do this – will be considered forbidden

(haram). Our beloved Prophet (peace be

upon him) said: “All flesh that grew out of something forbidden the Hell Fire would be the

most deserving place for him”. Refraining from all these would be in the best interest of

admonition. All the best and peace be with you.
