Q: What is the Islamic ruling on Black Friday? People worldwide consider it as a shopping day. Can muslims partake in any promotion that is targeted or attached to this day?
A: We are by the grace of Allah Ta`ala a people of our own. We cannot be swayed by alien cultures, civilizations and celebrations etc. We are required to remain steadfast and stable upon our path i.e. the path of Islam in any given situation.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
