Assalamo.alaikum

Walekum Assalam

The fatawas of the scholars state that it is haraam to eat food that is distributed on this day (mawlid) and on other innovated festivals. Ibn Khalqaan said in Wafiyaat al-A’yaan (3-274): When the first of Safar came, they would adorn those domes with all kinds of fine adornments, and in every dome there was a group of singers and a group of puppeteers and musical players, and they did not leave any dome but they installed a group there. End quote. But most of what these innovators do on this day (mawlid-un-Nabawi) )is making food of various kinds and distributing it and inviting people to eat. If a Muslim joins in this action, eats their food and sits in their gatherings, then undoubtedly he is taking part in keeping the innovation alive, and is cooperating in it, and Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Help you one another in Al‑Birr and At‑Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah” [al-Maa’idah 5:2] Hence the fatwas of the scholars state that it is haraam to eat food that is distributed on this day and on other innovated festivals. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked the following question in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (9/74): What is the ruling on meat that is slaughtered for the Mawlid? He (may Allaah have mercy on him) replied: If it is slaughtered (as a sacrifice) to the one whose birthday is being celebrated, then it is major shirk, but it is slaughtered just to be eaten, there is nothing wrong with that. But it should not be eaten, and the Muslim should not attend (the feast), so as to denounce them in word and in deed, unless he attends in order to denounce them without joining them in eating or anything else.
