Is Praying On New Year's Eve A Bidah?
Purpose of a religious activity should always be religious based on purpose and limits as sanctioned by the Prophet (sws) Himself. If it is affiliated with something over and above what was actually sanctioned ( in religious context ), then it would count as Bidah. The above mentioned activity doesn’t seem to have any additional religious motive than what has been prescribed originally.
