Although Mufti Abu Layth was talking about celebrating Christmas in his original video, the same logic can be applied on celebrating birthdays as well. Original Video: • Monday Nights with Muf...
People who kiss/touch the black stone have no right to criticise people who celebrate birthday or blow candles on their birthday cake. Otherwise they would become hypocrites.
@@chief8077 It was narrated that ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) came to the Black Stone and kissed it, then he said: “I know that you are only a stone which can neither bring benefit nor cause harm. Were it not that I had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) kiss you, I would not have kissed you.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1520; Muslim, 1720)
Silly logic by Menk- so basically he is saying by blowing candles you are carrying out pagan worship? The most important thing is it depends on a persons intentions. If you carry this out based on the pagan worship then I would agree with him but you are simply celebrating a birthday and most people will not have any intention of carrying out some ritual pagan worship so his point doesn’t make sense.
Ya man im really confused about my religion i dont agree with these scholars they keep on throwing these pointless rules i only fear Allah and i believe that what doesn't hurt me isn't haram
@@bravehero3986 that's the point, the black stone is just a ritual and had no value at all as said by Umar but since the Prophet (saw) kissed it, he will kiss it...it is a famous islamic ritual tradition NOW which the area came from pagan origins but when Islam dominated had no more value to being a pagan origin because Islam came..
That's an optional permissable act in Islam the same way it's an act in pagan religions putting candles on a cake, Islam forbids worshipping or copying other religions which is why some scholars argue against celebrating birthdays.
