Is Praying On New Year's Eve A Bidah?
I need a little more clarification please. You said that” Bidah or innovation would occur if they made it into an event, invited others to join them, publicized it” Back in October at the time of halloween there was an event arranged in the masjid , consisted of halaqas, qiyam ul lail etc. They invited others to join it, publicized it and made it into an event. I think they do some kind of program every year almost in every masjid across US on Halloween evening. The purpose is to provide some activity to the youth in the masjid so that they can stay away from participating in Halloween activities. I hope this doesn’t fall in to the bida’h catagory.
