Thanks Grace for wallowing in the sewers of human ideologies and ethical systems to find official statements on how Muslims should treat Christians and jews who might offer food and warm wishes for the coming holidays. Nice to see it in print. At least there is a certain honesty to it.
From Islam Q&A #1
It is not permissible to congratulate the kuffaar on their festivals in any way whatsoever
What is the ruling on eating the food (rice, meat, chicken or cake) that is given to us by a Christian friend that he made for his birthday or for Christmas or the Christian New Year? What is your opinion on congratulating him by saying, “Insha Allaah you will continue to do well this year” so as to avoid saying Kull ‘aam wa antum bi khayr (approx. “season’s greetings”) or “Happy New Year” etc?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for a Muslim to eat things that the Jews and Christians make on their festivals, or what they give him as a gift on their festivals, because that is cooperating with them and joining in with them in this evil, as is explained in question no. 12666.
It is not permissible for him to congratulate them on their festivals in any way whatsoever, because that implies approval of their festival and not denouncing them, and helping them to manifest their symbols and propagate their innovation, and sharing their happiness during their festivals, which are innovated festivals that are connected to false beliefs that are not approved of in Islam. See also question no. 47322.
And Allaah knows best.
On joining in on Christmas and new years (New years being a Calendar thing really) Islam Q&A
I see many “Muslims” joining in Christmas and other celebrations. Is there any daleel from the Quran and Sunnah that I can present to them to show that these are indeed very sinful practices?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible to join in the kaafir festivals for the following reasons:
Firstly: because this entails imitating or resembling them, and “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood). This is a serious warning. ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-‘Aas said: Whoever lives in the land of the mushrikeen and celebrates their Nawrooz (New Year) and their Mahrajaan (festivals), and imitates them until he dies, he will be a loser on the Day of Resurrection.
Secondly: taking part in their festivals is a kind of befriending them and showing love for them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyaa’ (friends, protectors, helpers), they are but Awliyaa’ of each other. And if any amongst you takes them (as Awliyaa’), then surely, he is one of them… “[al-Maa’idah 5:51]
“O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists) as friends, showing affection towards them” [al-Mumtahanah 60:1]
Thirdly: festivals are the matter of religion and beliefs, not the matter of worldly customs, as is indicated by the hadeeth: “Every nation has its Eid, and this is our Eid.” Their Eid or festival reflects their corrupt beliefs of Kufr and Shirk.
Fourthly: “And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass it by with dignity” [al-Furqaan 25:72 – interpretation of the meaning]. The scholars interpreted this aayah was referring to the festivals of the mushrikeen. It is not permissible to give any of them cards for their festivals, or to sell them cards or any of the other things they need for their festivals such as lights, trees or food – including turkey, candy canes, etc.
We have already answered a similar question, for more details please see Question #947.
Some clarification on taking non Muslims as friends. In case anyone wasn’t certain on that. This one helps to explain the ethnic cleansing we see of non Muslims throughout Europe and North America in areas where Muslims tend to concentrate themselves. From Muslim Q&A
Clarification of the important rule: it is haraam to take kaafirs as close friends and protectors
I read these various fatwas while making Christmas shortbread this morning……….It is amazing that after 1400 years of calamity there are still those wishing to portray Islam as a religion of peace and kindness. Absolute bullocks. The Islam Q&A site is clear and succinct in both it’s approach and guidance: the kaffir are filthy, evil beings to be reviled, avoided and vilified by the Muslim ummah as directed by the Islamic clerical authority. No wonder the world is in such a state.
All these rulings verify what a disgusting and vile religion (or should I say death cult) that Islam is. Quite obviously there is no morality in Islam, or common decency. It is not a religion of peace at all. Islam is a threat to the survival of the entire world, and should be dealt with accordingly.
Fuck u all mother fucking Muslim and fuck ur GOD Allah!!!
