Assalamualaikum, Respected Mufti Saheb I wanted to know regarding Meelaad-un-Nadi. Are we allowed to go in such programmes where they have Meelaad etc. I mean where they have Qasidaas, Naats and with this they have Meelaad i.e standing and saying Ya Nabi etc. Although I don’t have any intention that Nabi (s.a.w) is present there.Well, others must be having that intention who have believe in that. Well, Is it Jaaiz attending this type of programmes? Some say we have to use Hikmat. So we have to join them, so Inshallah in future they will listen to us. But at the same time we facing this problem that by Joining them they taking this as a proof that this thing is correct, that is why we joining them. And what about being an Aalim is it correct that a Aalim joins this type of programmes? Mufti Saheb I will really appreciate your answer. Jazakallah.

(Fatwa: 854/1182=H/1429)
People and Ulama in particular should shun totally from attending programmes wherein innovations and anti-sunnah customs are committed and should excuse with wisdom and justifiable reasons.
