Gathering to eat and celebrate on the last day of Sha’baan
Question:Some families get together on the last night of Sha’baan and make food, and some of their elders recite poems for this occasion. What is the ruling on this getting together to eat?
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Sahykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who replied as follows:
I think that this is closer to bid’ah (innovation), and it should be disallowed rather than permitted, because it is being taken as an “Eid” (regular celebration). If it happened only once, then it is OK.
Our response is: we do not allow it.
And Allaah knows best.Sahykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen
