UP cleric issues fatwa against New Year celebrations
News Desk by News Desk  December 30, 2024 
 
BAREILLY: A cleric here has issued a fatwa instructing Muslims to stay away from New Year celebrations.
 
All India Muslim Jamaat Maulana national president Shahabuddin Razvi issued the stricture on Sunday, saying that greeting each other on the New Year and holding parties was un-Islamic.

The fatwa states that starting a year from January is Christian and New Year is a Christian way of celebrating the event.

Islam strictly prohibits such programmes, it says.

“During New Year celebrations, dances, obscenity, hooliganism, alcoholism, betting-like activities are organised in hotels. All these activities are banned in the Islamic Shariat. Any boy or girl found involved in these activities will be a culprit as per Sharia,” Razvi, a cleric belonging to the Barelvi sect, said.

Fatwa is a document of the answer issued by a mufti on a question asked on a religious issue.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It is, however, acceptable to behead a few Christians. :whistle:
