Peace brother Psyah,

Pardon me for my poor english.

Prophet observed the fast and ordered the Muslims to fast also when He saw Jews were fasting. Now have he ordered us to celebrate Prophet Moses’s birthday? No.

The idea of remembrance itself is not a bad idea but you must see, understand that where the majority is going on in the name of this celebration and taking this event at what level. For an example I already pm’d you.

Like you given an example of wudu with new taps, the main thing is that the rules, validation of wudu is still preserved since it is originated. Nobody will going to say that one is allowed to do wudu with toilet water or similar to that. Even the Schools of Thoughts, what they are teaching/advising is purely based on Sunnah i.e., on the basis of hadith as well as from the verses of Holy Qur’an. But as far I know, no school of thoughts ever said about commemorating birthday of Prophet then why we are in need now? This era’s Scholars/Ulema/Shaikhs who are saying today that there is no issue in celebration of birthday of Prophet are better then the Companions of Prophet Muhammad ? No.

I, haven’t came across/read that the Prophet observed fast on the day He was born and ordered Muslims to observe fast and how permissibility of fasting on mondays due to the birth of RasoolAllah (SAW) be enough to obtain a basis for the act of celebration milad?

Peace dear brother

You asked if RasoolAllah (SAW) had ordered us to celebrate Sayyiduna Musa (AS)'s birthday … … No he (SAW) didn’t … But neither am I claiming that anyone ‘ordered’ us to celebrate the birthday of RasoolAllah (SAW) either … I don’t believe that Mawlid is Fard or Sunnah or Wajib … But I believe it is ja’iz to celebrate it.

Are we allowed to do things that were neither mentioned for us to do them or not to do them? Yes … we are allowed to do them. If you knew the birthday of Musa (AS) and you wanted to remember him (AS) … Is it forbidden to celebrate his (AS) birthday? No … We cannot forbid that what is not forbidden and we cannot say something is Sunnah when it was not Sunnah … To do either is bid’ah …

Celebrating Mawlid is not bid’ah … Celebrating Mawlid believing it to have Shari’ ruling of Fard, Sunnah, etc … then that would be bid’ah, yes.

I gave example of wudu and taps because one is Shari’ and the other part is not Shari’ … Doing wudu with least water and covering with water so it drops is the ahsan wudu but the method of water is not restricted in the tarteeb … Likewise we are told to love RasoolAllah (SAW) more than ourselves … This is hukm and Shari’ … But the method of celebrating out of this love is not strictly forbidden that this way or that way should not be done. Singing, dancing to music, free mixing these are already haram … so doing these on Mawlid or an any occasion like the marriage of our daughters is still haram …

I’ll give the Hadith inshaAllah … But we need to realise that to call this bid’ah is a failure in understanding what a bid’ah truly is … Mawlids that I have attended are truly blessed events … I feel closer to him (SAW) on those occasions and love to be close to those who love him (SAW) …
