Muslims that celebrate Valentine’s Day are cringy

[Bringer of Wisdom]

Valentine's Day, Christmas, Muhammad Jinnah day in Pakistan, Saudi national day, Halloween, etc.- all these holidays are haraam.

Can you at least explain why if you're making these types of statements? Because besides Christmas and Halloween (which is debated by some) they are all cultural festivals and thus not religious in nature. So how could they be haraam? It doesn't make sense to me. And please quote scholars other than Najdi ones....

this video refutes Yasir Qadhi, who as usual brings shubuhat. yes, Yasir Qadhi thinks kaffir holidays are ok.... praying to saints is ok... let's not refute the shia and let's cover for them... he promotes doubt in the Quran's preservation.... he promotes doubt regarding gog and magog... he wants a political alliance with homos.... I mean... the man is not exactly a defender of Islam. of course he's going to capitulate to Westernization, that's what he does all the time .

Man i remember the days way back in high school when me and friends never used to get valentines gifts so we took our frustration out on old people chillin at the park.

here's a video refuting Yasir Qadhi on his permiting Muslims to participate in Christmas



btw this is the Sheikh who translated tafsir As-Sadi into English

Who told you this lol? These are cultural festivals. If a festival has religious connotations other than Islam and is still viewed as being part of that religion, then it is Haram. However, if it is not widely regarded as part of that religion anymore, it is not Haram. Origins or not.

How do you think Islam was able to spread so far? Do you think scholars looked at a culture and said haram, haram, and haram? No, you look at the public benefit of said cultural festivals and if no harm occurs they are by definition Halal.

Makes sense why you think this way. You’re listening to brother YQ.

Valentine’s Day is an annual holiday. We only have two annual holidays. Besides, it’s also another way of imitating the kuffar. We should be more discerning on who we follow and imitate. Why is it that some Muslims fall for marketing and societal pressure this much?

@ecipde This is the loud minority I was talking about.

who was promoting for Muslims to celebrate kaffir holidays a hundred years ago? this is not even controversial- our position has been held by all the real scholars for centuries and centuries. it's this Yasir Qadhi Western mindset that is brand new.

This includes thanksgiving, valentines day, etc.

Easter and christmas are of course banned because not only are they non-muslim holidays, they're christian holidays so celebrating them could be considered a form of shirk if you look at the origin of those holidays(the christian jesus).

Somali Independence Day is also haram then?

 

[Baarisiyomoos]

The single people are mad treat yourself today abaayo, no need for a man. it’s just a silly little thing, comparing it to Christmas which is a religious holiday is a bit much lmao

According to them yes. These people will cause you to burn out spiritually SubhanAllah. Their hearts are probably in the right place but what they're promoting literally no one can follow.

How can valentines day be haram? It isn't a religious holiday, it isn't practised as a form of ibadah and neither are you expecting rewards from Allah (swt) for participating. I don't personally celebrate but calling something haram is a big thing smh....

Walaalo you have alot of knowledge but valentines day in my opinion is haram, it is based on a christian saint named Valentine.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. As there is ikhtilaaf on this issue. But to add to your comment. Does the average person connect the supposed Saint Valentine to Valentines day as of today? From what I’ve seen no and it is thus a cultural festival at this point.

But let me be clear lol. I don’t celebrate it myself. I just don’t think you should label things as Haraam so easily. It pushes people away from Islam and discourages new reverts.

I do have a man lol but we both agreed we’re not into the whole vday thing we’re just going to get some dinner cause we’re both free. Just bc you don’t celebrate doesn’t mean you’re miserable and lonely lmao

 

[hinters]

There is nothing with being a weeb tho just saying

Yeah I know nothing wrong in it, the only anime/manga I'm into these days is One Piece and CSM though.

u could say the same thing with christmas, it’s just a holiday. or halloween. end of day, all three are christian or pagan holidays.

 

[TheProfessor]

They’re almost as bad as the Muslims that celebrate Christmas. Like bruh that shit is haram. And it’s stupid too. So you should only show your love on one day?

U single miskeen

 

[AbrahamFreedom]

All Muslims have celebrated Valentine's Day in some manner. They all had to make Valentine's Day cards and give chocolates.

Well yeah, maybe in a 100 years, 500 years or even 1000 years. But that day isn’t today and it is up to ulamah to decide on a micro level within a community and not on a macro level for the entire ummah. Christmas definitely still holds a religious connotation. Halloween is a bit iffy, as the origin being linked with paganism is widely discussed. At least here in Europe. I’m not sure about the US. But valentines day from what I’ve seen is universally not promoted within any religion as of today. Thus my main argument being it is cultural and not religious and so the Sharia doesn’t even make a ruling on it.
