December is about to end. New Year will arrive in a few hours. Let us tell you that people organize various programs to celebrate the arrival of New Year. People congratulate each other while some people party all night. The interesting thing is that New Year has not even arrived yet and a fatwa has already been issued regarding it. In fact, Chashma-e-Darul Ifta of Barelvi sect has issued a fatwa declaring the celebration of New Year and wishing as un-Islamic. While issuing the fatwa, they have instructed Muslims to stay away from it.
Celebrating New Year and wishing is illegal from Islamic point of view
According to media reports, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi, Chief Mufti of Darul Ifta and National President of All India Muslim Jamaat, said in a fatwa issued on Sunday that “Celebrating New Year, wishing and organising parties on this occasion is illegal from Islamic point of view.” The fatwa also states that “The New Year starting from January is the New Year of Christians. This is purely a religious event of Christians. Therefore, it is not legal for Muslims to celebrate New Year.” The issued fatwa even states that “Islam strictly prohibits such events.” The interesting thing is that Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi issued a fatwa to Muslims and said that “Avoid participating in religious festivals of people following other religions or organising them yourself. Also stop other Muslim friends from doing so.”

Whether to accept or not accept a fatwa depends on personal decision
Let us tell you that Islamic fatwa is a religious opinion or decision, which is given according to Islamic law. It is given by an expert of Islamic law or a mufti. Fatwa is a document of the answer issued by the mufti on a question asked on a religious matter. The important thing is that accepting a fatwa is not binding. Fatwa is just an advice. Accepting or not accepting a fatwa depends on personal decision. Many such fatwas are issued every day.
