The Law of Christmas



One tradition that we must avoid is anything that is not from Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam , let alone those not of the Islamic tradition .

Coincide on the 25th of December is the feast day of his Christian; commonly referred to as the Christmas day . At that time everyone will welcome the holidays with a Christmas tree decorates her home with , then there are preparing greeting cards , and an assortment of models related to the feast .


The problem becomes the focal point here is that most of us as Muslims do not realize that we are equal to them , how come? of course it could . Islam is very clear in the law that states that , in accordance with that described in a hadith of the Prophet , Ibn Umar said the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said ,

من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم

" Whoever resembles a people , he belonged to them . " ( Narrated by Abu Dawood , Al - Libas , 3512 . Al-Albaani said in Saheeh Abu Dawood , Hasan Saheeh, no. 3401 )

Apparently how the shape , we 're not celebrating ? if it meets the above questions , then shape all our ikutsertaan congratulate him on their feast day , say mean agree with their religion , therefore we classified as them.

However, since the pronunciation congratulations to them , scholars differed in this respect . There are allowed and some are forbidden , as quoted in the site Eramuslim.com

Jumhur contemporary scholars allow christmas congratulations . Among them Sheikh Yusuf al- Qaradawi who argued that changes in global conditions is what made ​​me different from the Islam Ibn Taymiyyah Syeikhul pronunciation proscribe survived in the days of the Christian religion or the other . I ( Yusuf al Qaradawi ) pronunciation allow it if they ( the Christians or other non-Muslims ) are those who love peace to the Muslims , even more so if there is a relationship between himself khsusus ( non-Muslim ) with a Muslim , such as : relatives , neighbors house , college friends , co-workers and others . It is included in doing good which is not forbidden but Allah loved him as he loved to do Almighty fair . Word of Allah : Meaning :

إن الله يحب المقسطين

" Truly Allah loves those who act justly . " ( Surat al - Mumtahanah : 8 )

Moreover, if they bid farewell to the Muslims Hari Raya . Word of Allah :

وإذا حييتم بتحية فحيوا بأحسن منها أو ردوها إن الله كان على كل شيء حسيبا ) 86 (

It means : " If you were given a tribute of respect to something , then retaliate with the respect it better than him , or get even respect it ( with the same ) . Verily Allah memperhitungankan everything . " (Surat an-Nisa : 86 )



Ibn Taymiyyah , Ibn Qoyyim and his followers such as Shaykh Ibn Baaz , Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen , may Allah have mercy on them - as well as others such as Sheikh Ibrahim bin Muhammad al Huqoil found Christmas Day congratulated the ruling is illegitimate because it is part of the celebration of the symbols - symbols their religion . God does not meredhoi absence of kufr against His servants . Indeed in pronunciation congratulations to them is tasyabbuh ( resembling ) with them and this is forbidden .

Among the forms tasyabbuh namely :

1 . Participate in the feast

2 . Transferring their celebrations to Islamic countries .

They also argue obligatory celebrations away from the infidels , away from attitudes resemble their actions , away from the various means used to attend the celebration , not help a Muslim to resemble in their festivals , not to say congratulations on their feast days and avoid the use of various names and special terms in their worship .



Thus , the scholars did not allow the pronunciation during the chorus part in their feast , and did not violate the rules of Islam and forbid it if it is contrary to the Islamic Aqeedah as described by Ibn Taymiyah above .
