THE CELEBRATION OF MAWLID AN-NABAWI IS PROHIBITED AND REJECTED DUE TO SEVERAL REASON 1.The celebration of Mawlid is neither from the Sunnah of Allahs Messenger nor his Caliphs, and anything that is not from these, is a prohibited Bidah (innovation). Allahs Messenger said, Stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of my rightly guided Caliphs, cling to it firmly with your molar teeth. Beware of newly invented matters, for every new matter is an innovation and every innovation is misleading. [Musnad Ahmad (4/126) and at-Tirmidhee (2676)] Whosoever performs an act with the intention of achieving closeness to Allah while such an act was neither performed or commanded by Allahs Messenger nor by his Caliphs after him - then performing such an act constitutes accusing the Messenger of not (correctly/completely) explaining the Deen to the people. Performing this act also amounts to belying the statement of Allah, This day, I have perfected your religion for you. [Soorah al- Maidah(5):3] Such is because (by performing an innovated act) one comes up with something supplementary claiming that it is from the religion while Allahs Messenger did not order us with it.
