Q: Our question
is about celebrating the Mawlid (the Prophet's birthday). Is it Bid`ah
(innovation in Islaam)? I heard in some places and from some scholars that it
is a good Bid`ah and Allaah knows best, may Allaah bless you!
The refutation to the
claim that celebrating the Prophet's birthday is a good innovation can be found here
