Question |
During a Milad procession or gathering or any Islamic ceremony, some people beat drums, set off fireworks, clap and arrange for musical instruments. Some women also attend such gatherings without observing Islamic Purdah. What have respected Islamic scholars ruled on these issues?(Questioner: Muhammad Noman, Faisalabad) |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
To hold Milad processions and Islamic
ceremonies is a very good deed but it is impermissible and a sin to beat a
drum, play musical instruments, set off fireworks and display non-observance
of Islamic Purdah during them. The purpose of holding these ceremonies is to
celebrate the birth of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى
اللّٰہُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم who has forbidden these
improper actions. Therefore, Milad gatherings and Islamic ceremonies should
be held while refraining from such improper things. |
وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم |
