Wishing Non-Muslims On Their Festivals
I think that restricting oneself from shirk is the main point. Though we have a perspective in chirstmas but chirstians somehow connect the festival with worshipping prophet jesus. Similarly in diwali,holi,halloween and there are many festivals which can be celebrated by muslims with a different perspective but non-muslims somehow connect these festivals with shirk and origin. So what I understood from ghamidi saab view and also I belief that restricting oneself from shirk is the main point. And present form of a festival depend . Exception part is If present form of a festival contain shirk we can attend only when we have a different perspective. so in this view a festival which is fully about polytheism can also be attend by a muslim if they are invited in a dinner or anything.here we have a different view. The only thing which every muslim need to keep in mind is not to involve when they perform rituals containing shirk. We can just side our way from these but I think still one can be present at that place . Cause muslims are also not restricted from visiting temples, church. So I think in this perspective of attending not to celebrate polytheism but to attend the place only if they invite us for a dinner , lunch or anything we can go. And Obviously when someone will invite they will name the invitation according to their festival . And tha name may or may not contain shirk. But deep down the invitation is for gathering for a meal or just to come to their place but not to participate in their rituals. Same with the marriage ceremonies. I think one can also attend those ceremonies not to involve in rituals containing shirk.
