Quote:Birthdays do not emenate from the Christian or pagan aqeedah or any other aqeedah and therefore are permissable. Who ever said anything about birthdays being a Christian thing??!
It is brother Deen, it is a christian thing, tha arabic and islamic societies did never use to celebrate it, until the british and french occupation began spreading, and this was spread in our societies like christmas, and if u ask any scholar in Islam he will tell u it is Haram.
Quote:As for Rasool (saw) not celebrating birthday or his companions does not make it haram. Maybe at that time amongst the Arabs it was not a custom to celebrate birthdays and therefore the practice was not heard of.
The arabs used to do worse than birthdays before Islam and it was all stopped. Islamic customs wont change with time brother.
Quote:Not everything (SAW) did is allowed for us e.g. he was allowed to have more than 4 wives, we are not
U r allowed to have 4 wives brother Deen, who said that u r not allowed .
And u r allowed to make Tahajud as well, if u wish y not .
But the fast thing yes u r right.
In Islam we do not build Fatwas on openion brother, but from Quran Sunnah and scholars.
Wasalam 'alaykom wa rahmat Allah Wa Barakatuh
