In Saudi Arabia, Mawlid is Bid’ah, the King’s Birthday is Fine

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The Wahhabi sect in Saudi Arabia are quick to forbid the celebration of the Milad, the celebration of any birthday, and even forbids non-Muslims in the Kingdom from doing so.  But celebrating the birth of their nation is fine, and the king’s birthday is celebrated to an ostentatious degree.  This is an example of the hypocrisy of the Wahhabi sect.

  5. A bid'ah is something which is practiced with the belief that it is part of islam and that one will receive reward on it. Since celebrating the Prophet SAW birthday is unprecedented ( none of the Sahabah R.A and taabioon ever celebrated it) and has gained such a status amongst people that they believe it a sin if left out , it is impermissible.
    The situation with celebrating the King's or nation's birthday is not the same.(not considered part of islam , obligatory or rewarding )This does not mean that is permissible, rather the cause leading to the same ruling for both is different.

    1. That is a Wahhabi definition of bid'ah, and we do not take anything from the kafirun. Celebrating the Prophet (s.a.w.) is an ijma' that is almost unanimously agreed by all the scholars of Islam from the time of the Salaf. To claim otherwise is dishonest.
