1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a Muslim to attend the festivals and religious occasions of the disbelievers, as this implies an acknowledgment and affirmation of their rituals, which are connected to their corrupt beliefs. It is also not permissible to eat what a Hindu slaughters, because they are not People of the Book.
