Regarding christmas/diwali

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Assalamualaikum i would like to know whether there is a ruling regarding wishing Christians well over christmas and Hindus well over diwali? i have read some where that this is forbidden as you are confirming their faith. So can we wish them well..or is it haraam?

Answer

It is not permissible to wish non-Muslims during their festivals.

The non-Muslims display acts of Kufr during their festivals. To wish them in
their festivals is a sign of complacency to Kufr.
