[Question:

Celebrating Valentine's Days has become widespread amongst young ladies lately. This is a Christian festival, during which red clothes, shoes are wore and red roses are exchanged. Kindly clarify the ruling on celebrating such festivals.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allah exalt his mention) is His slave and Messenger.

Celebrating Valentine's Days is prohibited for the following reasons:

1. It is an innovated festival that has no grounds in Islam.
2. It invites to lust and encourages immorality.
3. It busies the heart with useless and attaches it to harmful matters, all of which opposes the practice of our Salaf (righteous predecessors) may Allah have mercy upon them.

Therefore, it is not permissible to practice anything on this festival day that reflects imitating those who practice it, whether it is regarding to ones food, drinks, clothes, gift exchange, greetings or anything else.
Finally, a Muslim must have pride in his religion and should not be naive and follow everything he sees around him.

Allah Knows best.

I have no doubt and i have finally come to conclusion that you and your fellow muslem brothers and sisters are the biggest fool for allowing your so called prophet to deceive you and others billions to hell

professional100:
Saint Valentine was a Catholic
priest who had also worked as
a doctor. He lived in Italy
during the third century AD
and served as a priest in Rome. Historians
don’t know much
about Valentine’s early life.
They pick up Valentine’s story
after he began working as a
priest. Valentine became
famous for marrying couples who were in
love but couldn’t
get legally married in Rome
during the reign of Emperor
Claudius II, who outlawed
weddings. Claudius wanted to
recruit lots of men to be soldiers in his
army and
thought that marriage would
be an obstacle to recruiting
new soldiers. He also wanted
to prevent his existing soldiers
from getting married because he thought
that marriage
would distract them from
their work. When Emperor Claudius
discovered that Valentine was
performing weddings, he sent
Valentine to jail. Valentine
used his time in jail to
continue to reach out to people with the
love that he
said Jesus Christ gave him for
others. He befriended his
jailer, Asterious, who became
so impressed with Valentine’s
wisdom that he asked
Valentine to help his daughter
Julia with her lessons. Julia was blind and
needed
someone to read material for
her to learn it. Valentine then
became friends with Julia
through his work with her
when she came to visit him in jail. Emperor
Claudius also came to
like Valentine. He offered to
pardon Valentine and set him
free if Valentine would
renounce his Christian faith
and agree to worship the Roman gods. Not
only did
Valentine refuse to leave his
faith, he also encouraged
Emperor Claudius to place his
trust in Christ. Valentine’s
faithful choices cost him his life. Emperor
Claudius was so
enraged at Valentine’s
response that he sentenced
Valentine to die.
A LOVING LETTER INSPIRES
VALENTINE’S DAY MESSAGES Before he was
killed, Valentine
wrote a last note to encourage
Julia to stay close to Jesus and
to thank her for being his
friend. He signed the note:
“From your Valentine.” That note inspired
people to begin
writing their own loving
messages to people on
Valentine’s Feast Day,
February 14th, which is
celebrated on the same day on which
Valentine was
martyred.
Nice story,

but if you believe this

YOU ARE A BIG FOOL

Salam alaykum. Thanks for this. It would have been better if you spoke with backing from the Quran or at lease hadith. That would have made your assertions stronger.

Quite alright it is not an ocassion recognized in islam and nobody is trying to introduce it to Islam. So I don't see it as an innovation in Islam.

I can't argue for ir against it but it's a beautiful day for most married folks that celebrate it.
