Celebrating national day
Question
Is celebrating national day permissible in Islam? If it is not permissible then why is there a holiday in Saudi Arabia on national day?
Answer
There is no concept of a national day. These are kuffaar customs.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
