Grand Mufti: Feast For Prophet Mohammad Is “Profane” But “Felicitous” For Al-Saud

MEP: Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, had regarded the celebration for the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH & HP) as being religiously groundless and found the celebrations to be a bunch of superstition and ignorance. Describing the tradition of celebrating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad as being “idolatrous” and “Profane” Al-Sheikh warned about holding such an event.

But with the coming anniversary of the ruling Al-Saud over Saudi Arabia, which is dubbed the “National Day”, the Mufti of the Saudi court issued a new fatwa, with a major shifting attitude.

Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Sheikh, declared that changing the national day into “thanksgiving”, is a must and urged people, on this day, to extend their deepest gratitude towards God.
