Christmas-in-Moscowkishjarkerdojel-600x409Question. As-Salam `alaykum. I am new Muslim and I am living with my Christian family in a non-Muslim society. My family is celebrating Christmas and I want to ask if it is wrong for me to attend their celebration.

Answer. Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we earnestly implore Allah to increase your faith and guide you to the straight path.There is nothing wrong, as far as Islam is concerned, that you share your family’s happiness in Christmas as long as you steer clear of what is prohibited in your religion (such as a table where alcohol or pork is served) and specifically religious rituals.

Answer: It is advisable to respect the Koran during his reading, follow the procedures in regard to the location of the body and appearance. There is no doubt that the appearance of a devout religious Muslim women implies a closed body for Islamic law clothing. It should also include a deep respect for religious rites. Allah, may He be exalted, said:  "And if anyone thinks ritual signs of Allah, then it comes from the fear of God in their hearts." Hajj 22/32

Allah Almighty knows best.

However, take into account the words of the MostHigh: "... or children who have no sense of nudity women" (Surah Light, verse31), and the hadith: "On reaching the age of seven ordering your children to pray ...".
