IntroductionMany people
celebrate Valentine’s Day, which falls on the fourteenth of February
every year; they do so by exchanging red rosesand gifts. They also dress
up in red clothingand congratulate one another on this occasion.
Certain bakeries and confectioners produce special sweets for the
occasion which are red in color and have heartsupon them. Other shops
advertise goods that are sold exclusively for this event.
The questions that therefore arise are: What are the Islamic rulings regarding:
1) Celebrating this day?
2) Buying from the shops that have these special items which are sold for this event?
3) Shop owners who are not celebrating this event selling items that can be used as gifts by those who are celebrating it?
The rulingThe Standing Committee for Scholarly Research and Legal Rulings studied this matter thoroughly and ruled as follows:
"The
clear evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, and this is agreed upon by
consensus of the early Muslim generations, confirms that there are only
two 'Eeds(days of celebration) in Islam: 'Eed al-Fitr(after the fast of
Ramadhaan) and 'Eed al-Adh-haa(after the standing at ‘Arafah for
pilgrimage).
Every other 'Eed, whether related to a person,
group, incident or any other occasion, is an innovated 'Eed. It is not
permissible for Muslims to participate in it, approve of it, make any
show of happiness on its occasion, or assist others to do so, in any
way; to do so would be to transgress the bounds of Allaah Who Says what
means: "…And whoever transgresses the limits of Allaah has certainly
wronged himself… " [Quran: 65:1]
If we add to this that the
fabricated 'Eedin question is in fact one of the 'Eedsof the
disbelievers, then it becomes a case of sin piled upon sin. This is
because its celebration entails imitation of the disbelievers and
thereby showing them a form of loyalty. In the Quran, Allaah has
emphatically prohibited the believers from imitating, loving or being
loyal to the disbelievers, in any way. It is also confirmed from the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention)
that he said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.”
Valentine’s
Day comes under the category of what has been mentioned here, since it
is a pagan and polytheistic holiday. Hence it is not permissible for any
Muslim who claims to believe in Allaah and the Last Day to participate
in it, approve of it, or congratulate anyone on its occasion. Moreover,
it is obligatory to abandon it and distance oneself from it in response
to the command of Allaah and His Messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
so that one may thereby be distanced from the anger of Allaah and His
punishment.
Additionally, it is forbidden for a Muslim to assist
or helpin this 'Eed, or any other forbidden or illicit celebration, in
any way whatsoever, whether by eating or drinking, selling or buying,
production, gift-giving, correspondence, announcements, or any other
means. All of these things are considered cooperating in sin and
transgression and disobedience to Allaah and His Messenger sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam. Allaah the Glorious and Most High Says what means:
“…And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin
and transgression. And fear Allaah; Indeed Allaah is severe in
penalty."[Quran: 5:2]
Also, it is obligatory for every Muslim to
adhere strictly to the Quran and Sunnah in every situation and at all
times, especially in times of temptation and corruption. It is incumbent
that he or she understand, be aware and be cautioned from falling into
the deviations of those whom Allaah is angry with (i.e., the Jews) and
those who are astray (i.e., the Christians) and other immoral people who
have no fear of punishment or hope of reward from Allaah, and who give
no recognition at all to Islam.
It is necessary for the Muslim to
flee to Allaah, the Most High, seeking His firm guidance upon the true
path. Indeed there is no Guide except Allaah, and none can grant
firmness except Him, and Success is from Him.
