ISLAMIC TEACHINGS NEVER BANNED ACKNOWLEDGMENTS MERRY CHRISTMAS



Congratulations are non-ritual issues, not related to worship, but muamalah. In principle, all non-ritual actions are permissible, unless there is a verse or hadith texts prohibiting.

It is spoken by Prof.. Dr. Sofyan Siregar, MA told AFP on Saturday (18/12/2010), referring to the content of the material conveyed in the European ICMI study in collaboration with the board Nasuha mosque in Rotterdam on Friday the day before.

Christmas greeting themes raised because almost every year the question arises about the legal Christmas greeting to a Muslim, particularly in the Netherlands.

According to Sofyan, no single verse of the Qur'an or hadith which explicitly prohibits any congratulate or greetings to non-Muslims, such as Christmas Day.

"Even in the Qur'an Sura Nisa verse 86 Muslims are instructed to respond to greetings from anyone without restrictions speech came from anyone," said Sofyan.

Advanced Sofjan, for people who claim to congratulate the non-Muslims should not be, should bring arguments and arguments from the Qur'an or Hadith. And it did not exist.

As for the hadith of Aisha that reads, "Do not say hi to the Jews and Christians," is in the context and background of the war with Banu Quraizah then.

"As with a lot of restrictions related to the infidels in general is related to the infidel al harbi or combatant," said Sofyan.

Muslims, especially in the Netherlands and Europe or Indonesia is not in a state of war, so ordered by the religious order to be fair in dealing in a multicultural society.

One form of birr, qistu, fair and ihsan is mutual respect in relationships, including giving and returned the greeting.

This is also in accordance with the Al Mumtahinah Paragraph 9. "If you take the slaughter of the book is as kosher and halal bolehnya marry women of the book, of course, to say hello, including prohibiting the impossible, because more of it was already kosher and permissible," said doctorate in Sharia.

The verses that forbid al muwalah as in Surah Al Mumtahinah Clause 9 makes the non-Muslims in the category of absolute guardian, limited scope of the ban in a state of war by another verse, it is in terms fiqihnya called muqayyad.

Verse 9 is the last verse of Al Mumtahinah down on al muwalah. So there are only two possible legal status: interpreting and explaining the verse previously derived absolute, or function menasikh (abrogation) the previous paragraph.

So according to the rules usuliyah: mutlaq annal dominant nushush yuhmal alalmuqayyad idza ittahadal hukmu was sabab.

In this case the law is one that is both illegitimate al muwalah, why also the one that causes kufr, so the verse absolute (absolute) put into verse muqayyad, meaning because the law is illegitimate because al kufr al muharib (infidel combatants).

Thus, al muwalah it unlawful combatant gentile who is at war with Muslims, as for the unbelievers not harbi excluded from the verse.

Many scholars who allow greetings to non-Muslims who do not harbi, such as Ibn Masud, Abu Umamah, Ibn Abbas, Al Auzayi, An Nakhoi, Attobary etc.
