Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said in his book Iqtidaa’ al-siraat al-mustaqeem mukhaalifat ashaab al-jaheem: “Imitating them in some of their festivals implies that one is pleased with their false beliefs and practices, and gives them the hope that they may have the opportunity to humiliate and mislead the weak.”
Sinabi ni Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah sa kanyang aklat Iqtida’ Al-Sirat Al-Mustaqim Mukhalifat Ashab Al-Jahim: “Ang pagtulad sa kanila sa ilan sa kanilang mga pagdiriwang ay nagpapahiwatig na siya ay nasisiyahan sa kanilang maling paniniwala at mga kaugalian, at binibigyan sila ng pag-asang baka makamit nila ang pagkakataong apihin at iligaw ang mga mahihina.”
