Can Muslims celebrate Birthdays?
According to Dr. Qais Bin Muhammad Al-Sheikh Mubarak, a former member of Saudi Arabia’s Council of Senior Scholars, there is no harm in celebrating birthdays in Islam.
There is nothing wrong if you celebrating your birthday, a wedding anniversary, or the birthday of your loved ones within the Islamic limits.
For example, celebrating a birthday is fine but playing music or having a mixed gathering is not acceptable in Islam.
Celebrating Milad Nabi
If celebrating your own birthday is within the limits of Islam, why celebrating Prophet Muhammad ﷺ birthday is wrong? We have covered this topic in this article in detail.
While celebrating your birthday, you do not have an intention of earning Thawab/Hasanat. However, while you are celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, you are doing it religiously.
Doing it religiously is biddah and not accepted in Islam. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: Whoever innovates something in Islam that is not part of it, will have it rejected. – Sunan Ibn Majah 14
