Living in Non-Muslim Countries During Their Holidays - Abu Muhammad al-Maghribee

With Christmas almost upon us, this is an excellent reminder for the Muslim about what their position should be in such situations.

During the non-Muslim holidays like Christmas, a lot of Muslims ask questions such as: We have family members, or I work with people who are Christians, they say Merry Christmas, what should we say? Should we wish them a  Merry Christmas, or not? What should our position be, since we live amongst them?  Some Muslims ask about their food, whether we can eat it or not?  If we are invited to the gatherings of our non-Muslim family members, can we attend?  Can we accept gifts that they give us at Christmas?  Or, if they give us gift during our Eid celebrations, can we take those gifts?  As well as many other questions.

In this lecture, delivered on the 25th of December 2017Abu Muhammad al-Maghribee (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) answers there and many other questions that are asked at these times.
