Sheikh ibn Bāz رحمه الله said:

“Among the innovations which some people have introduced is the innovation of celebrating the middle night of Sha’bān and singling out its day with fasting. There is no reliable evidence to prove this. There are weak reports indicating its virtue which must not be relied upon. As for what is mentioned concerning the virtue of praying during it (the night of the 15th), then this is all fabricated, as many of the scholars have pointed out.”

[Majmū’ Fatāwā Ibn Bāz (1/ 186)]

Ruling on Delaying Make-Up Fasts Until the Next Ramaḍān

Question: I have days of fasting to make up from two years ago, and until now I have not made them up. Ramaḍān is about to begin and I still have not made up those fasts. What is the ruling?

Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan hafidahullah:

If delaying the make-up fasts was due to a valid excuse, then you should make them up when you are able to do so. But if the delay was without a valid excuse, it is not permissible for a new Ramaḍān to come while you still owe fasts from the previous Ramaḍān. You must make up the missed fasts before the next Ramaḍān begins.

ʿAishah (may Allāh be pleased with her) said: “I used to have days of fasting to make up, and I would not fast them except in Sha‘ban because of my duties toward the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings be upon him).”

So the new month should not come upon you unless you have made up what you owe from the previous month—unless there is a valid excuse that prevents you from making them up before Ramaḍān. In that case, you may delay them until after Ramaḍān and make them up afterward, and there is no sin in that.

Valentine's Day???

Fatwa no. 21203

Q: Some people celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14 by exchanging red roses, dressing in red, and congratulating one another on that day. Some cake shops make heart-shaped cakes in red and draw hearts on them and other shops advertise special items on sale for this day. What is your opinion on:

First: Celebrating this day?

Second: Buying from these stores on this day?

Third: Shop owners who do not celebrate this day but sell gifts to those who do celebrate it?

May Allāh reward you with the best.

A: The clear-cut evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah, upon which the Salaf (righteous predecessors) of this Ummah (nation based on one creed) unanimously agree, confirms that there are only two Eids (festivals) in Islam: Eid-ul-Fitr (the Festival of Breaking the Fast) and 'Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice). Any other festival, whether peculiar to a person, a group, an event or stands for any meaning whatever, is an invented festival that is not permissible for Muslims to celebrate, approve of, enjoy, or support in any way, because this is considered to be a transgression of the boundaries of Allāh's Law. Anyone who transgresses the boundaries set by Allāh has wronged themselves. If we add to this fabricated festival the fact that it is one of the festivals of the Kafirs (disbelievers), this heaps sin upon sin, because it entails imitating them and is a type of support of them. Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) forbids the Mu'mins (believers), in His Ever-Glorious Book, from imitating or supporting the Kafirs. It is authentically reported that the (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Anyone who imitates a people is one of them."

Valentine's Day falls under this heading, as it is one of the idolatrous Christian festivals. It is not lawful for a Muslim who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to celebrate, approve of, or congratulate people on it; it is forbidden to them. Rather, it is obligatory for them to ignore and avoid it, in obedience to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ and to keep away from that which will arouse Allāh’s Anger and incur Punishment.

It is also Haram (prohibited) for Muslims to support this festival or any other forbidden festival by any means, whether by supplying food or drinks; selling, buying, manufacturing, gift-giving, corresponding, advertising and so on, because all this comes under cooperating in sin and transgression, and disobeying Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ . Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) says: "Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwâ (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allāh. Verily, Allāh is Severe in punishment."

It is obligatory for Muslims to adhere to the Qur'an and Sunnah in all matters, especially in times of Fitnah (trial) when corruption is widespread. They must be sagacious enough and on their guard to avoid falling into the misguidance of those who have earned Allāh's Anger, those who went astray, or the Fasiqs (those flagrantly violating Islamic law) who have no fear of Allāh nor have pride in being Muslims. Muslims should resort to Allāh, asking for guidance and steadfastness in Islam, as it is Allāh Alone Who guides and keeps us steadfast.

May Allāh grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and his family and Companions.
