Ruling On Celebrating Valentine by Lukgaf(m): 3:20pm On Feb 13, 2020 |
Every February 14 is globally recognized as Valentine's day. What is an Islamic ruling on it? Should we participate? Firstly: Without doubt, Valentine’s Day is a jaahili Roman festival, which continued to be celebrated until after the Romans became Christian. This festival became connected with the saint known as Valentine who was sentenced to death on 14 February 270 CE. The kuffaar still celebrate this festival, during which immorality and evil are practised widely. Secondly: It is not permissible for a Muslim to celebrate any of the festivals of the kuffaar, because festivals come under the heading of shar’i issues which are to be based on the sound texts. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Festivals are part of sharee’ah, clear way and rituals of which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way” [Al-Quran al-Maa’idah 5:48] In essence, Muslims should not do any of their rituals at the time of their festivals; rather the day of their festival should be like any other day for the Muslims. The Muslims should not do anything specific in imitation of them. ( Majmoo al-Fataawa (25/329). ) Also, many scholars have issued fatawah stating that it is haraam to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Among them is our noble Sheikh: Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) who was asked: In recent times the celebration of Valentine’s Day has become widespread, especially among female students. It is a Christian festival where people dress completely in red, including clothes and shoes, and they exchange red flowers. We hope that you can explain the ruling on celebrating this festival, and what your advice is to Muslims with regard to such matters; may Allaah bless you and take care of you. He replied: Celebrating Valentine’s Day is not permissible for a number of reasons. 1- It is an innovated festival for which there is no basis in Islam. 2- It promotes love and infatuation. 3- It calls for hearts to be preoccupied with foolish matters that are contrary to the way of the righteous salaf (may Allaah be pleased with them). It is not permissible on this day to do any of the things that are characteristic of this festival, whether that has to do with food, drinks, clothing, exchanging gifts or anything else. The Muslim should be proud of his religion and should not be a weak character who follows every Tom, Dick and Harry. I ask Allaah to protect the Muslims from all temptations, visible and invisible, and to protect us and guide us. End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (16/199) Say no to Valentine!

I don’t see anything bad in celebrating valentines with ur wife.this can help strengthen relationships especially in a country of our that we work n prioritize money, forgetting the key stone of relationship which is been vulnerable to ones spouse and talking and having fun today is good. And for those saying u can celebrate everyday pls let be truthful to ourselves it can’t be the same 9 Likes 1 Share |

No one needs a specific day to celebrate their loved ones. If you truly love someone, everyday with them is a special day The real winners today are the restaurant owners, bakers, et cetera 2 Likes 1 Share |

Valentine is not meant for us (Muslims) as it's evident that, sins and immoralities of all sorts are exemplified by its celebration. Alihamdulillah for Islam. 3 Likes 1 Share |
