What is the ruling on celebrating the Day of Nationalization of Hydrocarbons by holding sports competitions in an oil company, even though it is not a holiday?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the celebration of this day is repeated every year, then it becomes an Eid. Eid is derived from the word "عود" (to return), meaning recurrence. There are two Eids: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Muslims have no Eid other than these two. Therefore, it is not permissible to celebrate this day, given what has been established: that the Eids of Muslims are restricted to these two days.
