Halloween The Festival Of Disbelievers Not Muslims Allāh says in Qur’ān: والذين لا يشهدون الزور “And those who do not witness falsehood..” • [al-Qur’ān 25:72] Mujāhid and other than him from the Salaf said that falsehood (Zoor) refers to the festivals of disbelievers. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever imitates a nation then he is from amongst them.” ● [رواه أبو داود] قال عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه : اجتنبوا أعداء الله في عيدهم. ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه said: “Avoid the enemies of Allāh during their festivals.” and in one narration with addition “.. for the Wrath of Allāh descends upon them during it.” ● [تاريخ الكبير للبخاري] قال عبدالله بن عمرو رضي الله عنه : من مر ببلاد الاعاجم فصنع نيروزهم و مهرجانهم و تشبه بهم حتى يموت و هو كذلك حشر معهم يوم القيامة. ‘Abdullāh b. ‘Amr رضي الله عنه said: “Whoever settles in the land of the non-Arabs and celebrates their new year and festival and imitates them until he dies while he is in that state, will be gathered with them on the Day of Resurrection.” ● [أخرجه البيهقي في الكبرى] Ibn Taymīyyāh said: “Muslims should not celebrate any festival of the disbelievers.” ‎● [مختصر اقتضها أسصراط المستقيم ١٧-١٨]
