Jakarta –
During this time, maybe you have heard that Muslims are haram wish me a merry christmas for Christians. The reason is, by saying means participating in celebrating it. There are also those who say that it is not in accordance with Islamic law, Mother. However, recently, the chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) for da’wah, Cholil Nafis, said that Muslims may wish you a Merry Christmas, Mother.
Cholil Nafis personally emphasized that it is okay for Muslims to wish Christians a Merry Christmas who celebrates it. What is the reason?
“I myself have concluded that it is legal to wish me a merry Christmas. Especially for those who have Christian relatives or for officials in Indonesia whose society is plural,” Cholil said in his official statement, recently.
Muslims who say Merry Christmas, according to Cholil, are just paying respects to Christians who celebrate it. Instead of admitting his belief, Mother.
In addition to his statement, Cholil also explained that fatwa MUI 1981 regarding the Joint Christmas Celebration did not explain about the prohibition of saying Merry Christmas. According to him, in the fatwa, it is forbidden for Muslims to participate in Christmas activities.
“If you follow the MUI fatwa in 1981, it is forbidden to participate in Christmas ceremonies and participate in Christmas activities. So the matter of saying Merry Christmas is not explained in the MUI fatwa,” said Cholil Nafis.
Cholil realizes that some scholars in Indonesia have different opinions about wishing you a Merry Christmas. He then appealed to those who are not interested in wishing you a Merry Christmas, no need to say it, Mother.
“Likewise, regional officials do not need to make banners to call for a Merry Christmas,” said Cholil Nafis.
