Sunan Ibn Majah 1303 (Book 5, Hadith 501) #30655
Celebrating Festive Occasions in Islam

SUMMARY: Celebrations on festive occasions are permissible in Islam.

It was narrated from 'Amir that Qais bin Sa’d said: "There is nothing that happened during the time of the Messenger of Allah except that I have seen it, except for one thing, which is that Taqlis* was performed for the Messenger of Allah on the Day of Fitr. (Three other chains of narration) with similar wording. *Taqlis means to indulge in celebrations on a festive occasion.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ مَا كَانَ شَىْءٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلاَّ شَىْءٌ وَاحِدٌ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ كَانَ يُقَلَّسُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ دِيزِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، نَحْوَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Indulge in joyful celebrations on festive occasions while remaining mindful of religious obligations

EXPLANATIONS:
Celebrating festive occasions is a part of Islamic culture and tradition. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known to indulge in celebrations on special days such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. This hadith shows that it is permissible to celebrate these occasions with joy and happiness, as long as it does not involve any prohibited activities such as drinking alcohol or gambling. It is important to remember that the purpose of celebrating these occasions should be to thank Allah for His blessings and show gratitude towards Him.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us the importance of moderation when celebrating these occasions, so we should not go overboard with our celebrations or spend too much money unnecessarily. We should also remember that although we can enjoy ourselves during these times, we must still remain mindful of our religious obligations such as prayer and fasting during Ramadan.
