Dear Friends,What do you say to Muslims who celebrated Valentine's Day? Have they committed a sin? What is Islam's stance on celebrating Valentine's Day?

Response to: your brother

As Muslims, we have only two festivals

1- EID AL AD-HA of DhulHajj 2- EID AL FITRE of Shawwal

Beside this two celebrations all celebrations and festivals are from other religions or cultures. We can not find any justifications for those newly made celebrations in ISLAM.

As Muslims, we are required to love one another and to wish and inculcate love among people regardless of their color, race, religion, or identity. However, this does not mean dissolving our identity or blindly copying and imitating others' traditions and practices. Islam goes against celebrating Valentine's Day because commemorating that day is an innovation or bid`ah that has no religious backing, let alone the unlawful practices done during it that Muslims should not take part in.
