Re: Eid Milad
Often the tactic used to defame a practice is to bring up the worst examples of people who practice it.
in which case, all weddings should be forbidden because most of the ways they are done today are unIslamic, or all Eid celebrations should be forbidden because of most of the ways they are celebrated are unIslamic, or anything else …
On the flip side people who say the mawlid is not an innovation are not correct either … It is an innovation; that for some is an automatic disqualification and for others depends whether it is a reprehensible innovation or a good one … Then we can analyse the various expressions of this innovation and easily conclude which forms bring us benefit and which bring us harm. And it is our responsibility to promote the benefits thereof and warn against the harms.
